Options Terminology Explanation

Implied Volatility:

• Represents market investors' expectations for future stock price volatility; it is essentially an unknown variable.
• By using a certain options pricing model, factors such as stock price, option premium, interest rate, and expiration time are input into the pricing formula to derive the implied volatility.
• To some extent, it reflects the valuation level of options. Under other constant conditions:
  • When implied volatility is relatively high, option prices are more expensive (for assets with low price volatility, 30% may be considered high).
  • When implied volatility is relatively low, option prices are cheaper (for highly volatile assets, 80% may still be considered low).

Put/Call:

• The ratio of Put option trading volume to Call option trading volume. The smaller the ratio, the stronger the bullish sentiment.
