For educational purposes only. Not investment advice, and not a recommendation that any security or option contract is suitable for any person. Options involve risk and are not suitable for all investors. Implied volatility measures the market's expectation of future movement and does not indicate direction.

What is IV Rank?
Implied Volatility Rank (IV Rank) compares a stock's current implied volatility against its range over the past year. A reading of 100 means IV is at its 52-week high; 0 means it's at the 52-week low. A high reading means the current implied volatility sits near the top of its own 52-week range. It says nothing about the direction of the underlying, and elevated implied volatility can stay elevated or rise further.
IV Rank vs. IV Percentile
IV Rank is a min-max normalization. IV Percentile measures the percentage of trading days over the past year when IV was below today's level. Both are useful — IV Rank reacts faster to extremes, IV Percentile is more stable across regime shifts.
How to use this screener
- Premium sellers: filter IV Rank 70–100 and IV Percentile 60+. Short strangles, iron condors, cash-secured puts.
- Premium buyers: filter IV Rank 0–30. Long calls, debit spreads, calendars.
- Around earnings: implied volatility commonly rises before a scheduled announcement and falls after it, which changes option premiums independently of any move in the stock.
- Use the 1-month tenor when you want a recent-regime view; 1-year for the standard institutional benchmark.
