 the volatility really is.
 
 So, the question is what should I be asking him to figure out how to
 trade options better, any ideas?

hi
there are many option software that allow you  to do that  intra day
but be careful
that software  alarm you to  low  volume options
and when you  REALLY want to buy or sell  the bid and ask change
you MUST  use  a very liquid  stock and option
with  VERY hi volatility
you plot the volatility and its  2.1  STD div  ,,
98%  of the time  it should be inside those bands
when the volatility  is  2-4% above  the  upper band its time to sell  the 
options
and when the bands narrows  and  stay narrow for  a day or 2.. it's time to 
buy
options
hope this helps
