I wanted to come up with a way to measure the probability of the whether
the Vix will rise or fall over a certain time frame. This is one idea I
came up with. I measured the 1day, 2 day, 3 day, 4 day, ect, (up to 10
days) changes in the close to close of the Vix. I did this for a 64
trading day time frame. I calculated the percentage of up / down days to
the related time frames. For example, there were six 10 day time periods
in the 64 days of data. Based on this result I wanted to calculate the
probability of these changes and forecast the probability for time frames
up to 15 days forward. While todays action in the markets make this study
obvious, I find it useful. I also apply this to the Oex to estimate time
frames for holding calls or puts. This needs to be updated daily to
monitor any significant change in predictions.
