Strategy Overview

Volatility harvesting captures the difference between implied and realized volatility. When the volatility regime shifts from HIGH/EXTREME back to NORMAL, implied vol tends to overstate actual future moves. Traders can sell options or gamma-like structures to harvest this premium.

The Math

P&L = Implied Vol − Realized Vol (annualized). Entry when vol regime transitions from HIGH to NORMAL. Hedge with delta-neutral perp position.

Risk Factors

Tail risk from unexpected volatility explosions. Risk managed by monitoring regime confidence scores and using stop-losses at vol regime re-escalation.
