Abstract
This study investigates the dynamic relationship between noise trader sentiment and excessive volatility in the Indian financial market during the COVID-19 outbreak. It proposes novel options trading strategies to ensure profitability in times of irrational exuberance and to satisfy diverse investment requirements of volatility traders, which arise from the varying levels of stimulating neurotransmitters, namely dopamine and serotonin in the human body. Empirical results show that the incremental information content of sentiment measures is vital in forecasting future volatility and the proposed options trading strategies effectively accomplish the neuro-specific intentions of the traders during extreme volatility in the Indian equity market.
