the VIX/VXN calc is a bit more complicated than that.
but u have the basic idea, theoretical 8 calls/puts near the money w/ 30 days to expiration.

BS doesn't take $TNX but $IRX, and takes actual # of days to expir.

i think i have the real formula somewhere (for VIX), i just have to dig it up.

the reason i asked about VXN vs QQV is because NDX options are illiquid (wider B/A spreads).

>>It is actual volatility based on historical prices

really? where did u hear that? (i don't that that's correct)
i read the the main diff btw VXN and QQV is that one uses calendar days, the other trading days, which is why the numbers are so different.
