## Caption

Options trading with a 0DTE strategy raises a natural question: should you use the 9-day VIX instead of the regular 30-day VIX as your indicator? The data from this Options Jive study covers the 9-day, 30-day, three-month, and six-month VIX products and the answer is clear, stick with the VIX.

Implied volatility explained through hard numbers: IV overstates realized volatility 78% of the time on the 9-day, 82% on the 30-day and beyond. The overstatement is consistent across all durations, but the bang for your buck -- theta decay, collection speed, capital efficiency -- peaks at the 30 to 45 day timeframe. Selling further out gives you the same overstatement with much more time at risk.
