Course Name: Volatility Trading Strategies for Beginners, Section No: 13, Unit No: 1, Unit type: Video
Dear Sir,
I am interested in this course but can you let me know if VIX derivatives is not available in india then how this course would be useful to me.
Hi Bhaumik,
I am glad you are interested in the course. First of all, derivatives based on INDIA VIX are available but the lack of liquidity in these derivatives does not make them an enticing choice to trade. On the other hand, with the Indian government and RBI clearing some of the rules regarding overseas investments, there are certain trading platforms which have started offering services such as trading in the US markets, including VIX based derivatives. You can also check with your broker if this facility is available or not. Plus the fact that fractional investing is available makes it interesting. This also opens doors to diversifying your portfolio as well.
Of course, if you look at the big picture, the course on volatility trading is not just focused on the VIX. There are also metrics such as beta, standard deviation and technical indicators based on volatility, which can be used to create different trading strategies.
Lastly, I hope this did not come across as a sales pitch. You can always check the preview units and if, and only if it benefits you, only then buy the course.
Hope this helps.
