In this module, we\u2019ll explore a couple of strategies that may be used by option traders to take advantage of a lull in the markets. And by lull, I\u2019m referring to a period of relatively small movements in the price of an underlying asset, or where volatility is expected to diminish.<\/p>\n
Once again, we\u2019ll walk you through examples of how each strategy works, and then show you a practical application of how such trades may be created using IBKR\u2019s Trader Workstation. And while we\u2019re talking specifically about strategies designed for neutral markets, don\u2019t forget that the opposite side of each trade infers higher volatility, which would appeal to option traders looking for larger price movements or upward shifts in volatility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
