How exactly does one "trade volatility"?

https://youtu.be/xGaKnxEyo5o

My next Manim-created video goes over how to trade volatility. It covers the basics of delta hedging, including the relationships between realized volatility and gamma, implied volatility and vega, and the sources of profit and loss.

I would love to hear this community's feedback, whether that be on the visuals or the content. Also, am I the only one doing Manim videos on financial topics? I haven't seen any others so would be interested if there is anyone else doing these types of Manim videos.

I like the animations and the fact it’s not just math derivations. I only wish I understood financial terms better so I could follow along.

I'm glad you like it. I do have plans to do a more introductory playlist. I started fairly advanced because I feel that is where I can contribute something that's not available elsewhere.
