1/ One of the essential factors I was interested to learn how to trade in options was implied volatility.

So in this thread, I went through important points that I found + how IV is being implemented in #Defi 🕳️ :
2/ #Impliedvolatility is a probabilistic calculation for how much the market is expecting a certain asset to vary in price, e.g supply/demand factor :

- IV high > options Demand high > expecting volatility
- IV low > options supply high > expecting neutral / slow deviations
3/ #Vega is the first derivative of the option value with respect to the volatility.
And it is a great indicator that helps us understand IV effects over options prices by measuring how the price variates if the implied volatility changed by 1%. = S.sqr(t).N’(d1)

Don’t let them overwhelm you or scare you.
They’re simply #mathematical words to explain some very basic principles.
