What is an Options Skew? How does understanding skews help when trading FX Options? Join Stefen Choy co-founder of LiveVol and one of the most successful options market makers and prop traders on the NYSE ARCA exchange floor, who will discuss the important role skews play when trading FX Options. Skews are a part of option valuations and different underlying securities have different skew characteristics. Skews are a graphical characteristic of the implied volatility of options of the same underlying asset across different strikes forming a right skewed curve. Implied volatility can be used to adjust your risk control, trigger trades and execute trades based on the market's own implied volatility level. It changes as investor sentiment changes and can be very sensitive to the overall market environment. Stefen will also discuss how implied volatility be used to forecast market direction and make trading decisions. Stefen will also be showcasing LiveVol Pro, the new standard for front-end options trading.
