| dc.description.abstract | We propose a volatility trading system that comprises two uncorrelated components. The first component is astraddle long-short strategy which profits by anticipating changes in the volatility of stocks within the SP 500 Index.The second component is a filtered out-of-the-money put writing strategy on the SP 500 Index which profits by collecting premiums while avoiding losses that would occur during market selloffs by using the Absorption Ratio to detect fragile market regimes. We combine these two components into a portfolio by weighting them in such a way that they contribute equally to total portfolio risk.In addition,we include a dynamic hedging overlay to provide further protection to the portfolio. | en_US |
