In this chapter, we have looked into the details about the theory needed for our trading strategy. We derived some of the mathematical tools used in volatility trading and discussed how these can be used in the trading system. Some of the concepts have been introduced in earlier chapters and only slightly modified versions were introduced here. In the next chapter, we'll put the pieces together and look at how to present the data from the trading system in a GUI.
