Implied volatility is one of the most important concepts to understand as an options trader.
Implied volatility represents the option prices on a particular stock, which is an indication of the future stock price movements that the market is expecting.
Stocks with more expensive option prices have higher implied volatility, indicating larger expected price changes in the future. On the other hand, stocks with cheaper option prices have lower implied volatility, indicating smaller expected price changes in the future.
Additionally, implied volatility can be used to calculate the one standard deviation expected stock price ranges over any time frame.
