HiPOS Trade Update: Accessing the Volatility Bank - Today ZEGA’s traders tapped into the elevated volatility levels in markets to identify our latest short put spread trade on the S&P 500 Index.
HiPOS is a strategy that is not dependent on the market simply moving higher to realize gains. Back in February we entered the short put spread position while the market was trading north of 4000.
You’ll notice above that markets gaped lower a bit combined with a higher short-term volatility jump. Typically, we try to be patient and remain in cash for a bit before the markets give us better risk metrics. When markets gap lower, with higher volatility, it lets us put on a short put spread with a strike price further out of the money with the appropriate premium received.
