Because implied volatility overstates the expected market move, options are always overpriced long-term. This module includes lessons on mastering implied volatility and premium pricing for specific strategies. We'll also look at IV relativeness and percentiles, which help you determine the best strategy to use for each and every possible market setup.
This gave me a greater understanding as to how traders can do almost everything right and still lose on trades long term. Thank you.
