Why attend Volatility Trading Summit?

Volatility is at an all-time high. The VIX, which averaged 17.54 last year, jumped to 89.53, its highest intraday level on Oct. 24 and a record close of 80.06 three days later. The S&P 500 rose or fell at least 1% in 86% of October’s trading days, making it the second most volatile month in its 80-year history. Only November 1929 produced bigger swings.

Equipped with the right tools and know-how traders can make a killing in today’s volatile market. However, the chances of success are equivalent to the prospects of failure. This conference will examine new data sets, strategies, products, and skills to limit a trader’s chance of losses.
