Program Description: As fear of market declines ebb and flow, inconsistencies form between current and expected volatility of the S&P 500. Total Volatility captures the inconsistencies between 30-day and expected 30-day volatility. The program also analyzes the troughs and bubbles of the longer term VIX structure. When the troughs are too low or the bubbles too high, Total Volatility seizes on these irregularities as well.
