    You appear dazed and confused. Don't buy a single Option or Futures contract. You will lose money. Run now.

  3. In general, auction markets are based on volatility as a means to efficiently match buyers and sellers. Previous highs and lows created the historical market. The bid ask creates the current market. Implied volatility creates a future market.

    The trader, more specifically it's frame of reference, is the only independent variable. The market's frame of reference does not change, it 'rolls'.
