How Can a Trader Profit from a Change in Implied Volatility?

A trader can profit from a change in implied volatility (IV) by using strategies that are sensitive to Vega. If a trader expects IV to rise, they can buy options (long Vega).

If they expect IV to fall, they can sell options (short Vega), often using strategies like straddles or strangles.
