The figures below show the simulated P/Ls for 36M and 18M ATM options
under different volatility and spot change scenarios after one-year has passed.
The price sensitivity to spot moves does tend to dominate any volatility P/L.
Also, you can see for the 36M trade that if fixed strike vols and spot are
unchanged then your option loses a fifth of its value due to time decay (the
18M option loses almost half its value in the same situation). A 5% up move in
spot and a 100 bps decline in vol leaves the 36M ATM call option holder
elatively flat.
