Quote from atticus:
Derman, sure, but I am referring to a rise in the vol-line irrespective of strike. We will see a rise in the strips/vix (all strikes rise) on a touch of 1370 which is mitigated by the skew. Derman would say that a neutral vix would result in a lower 70-strike vol on a touch.
Ahh!
I raised the vol in this analyzer in TOS... while the PnL at the 70 strike drops a little it's not too bad.
BTW, AMZN and SBUX are reporting in a few hours. Anybody trading these?
