A support analyst patiently answering the question:
> When the volatility is constant, it means the volatility is the same at any time.
>When it is time-dependent, it means that at different time, the value is different. |

Automated system places hedges against some fills. Automated system tries to cancel said hedges as they're no longer optimal. Automated system fails and gets filled on said hedges "locking in" the previous winner. (But giving up instantaneous edge)

On the internet, some guy that touts himself as an expert, a few days before the Brexit referendum vote:
"Everybody knows that the Brexit event will be a non-event, nothing is going to happen. Britain will vote to stay in EU out of fear of change. The status quo generally has the edge on these kinds of referendums for that reason". |
The only thing that counts: can you make money? |
