What's inside

IV Rank & Percentile

Where implied volatility sits inside its own 52-week range and distribution — the core cheap-or-expensive readout for any ticker.

IV vs HV Spread

Implied against realized volatility, so you can see when the market is paying you more than the stock actually moves.

Implied Move

The move the options market is pricing into the next expiration — sized in dollars and percent, per ticker.

Volatility Skew

Put/call skew across strikes reveals where the chain is charging for tail risk and which side of the trade is expensive.

Term Structure

IV across expirations — contango, backwardation or an event kink — tells you which month to sell and which to own.

Event Vol Isolation

Strips the earnings or event premium out of the front expiration so you can price the event itself.

IV Crush History

How much implied volatility collapsed after past events for this name — the base rate behind any pre-event trade.

Market Vol Regime

A market-wide snapshot of where volatility is rich or cheap across index products, rates and single names.
