The SKEW index is a measure of potential risk in financial markets. Much like the VIX index, the SKEW index can be a proxy for investor sentiment and volatility. The Skew Index measures perceived tail-risk in the S&P 500. SKEW values generally range from 100 to 150 where the higher the rating, the higher the perceived tail risk and chance of a black swan event....
In most mature markets, options can be a major indication on price direction, or at least the markets expectations of future market direction. One way of looking at this could be through the Call/Put Ratio. The ratio is a simple measure of how many call options are being traded relative to put options. As you can see from the chart above (www.sk3w.co) the...
Another chart to keep in mind given skew has decoupled from the VIX!
One to keep an eye on... Particularly given S&P variance has been so low lately.
Using the Harmonic Mean (Pythagorean Means), we focus on "three values" using the Cross Ladder Problem by drawing the geometric shape - vectored R/S points. These values are taken from the harmonic mean of "B" "A" "h". The calculation inputs are Log Normal, Exponential, and Skewness. (Arithmetic mean gives higher data points that will error your weight);...
