Weather Score

The Weather Score is your daily weather report for options trading, offering a composite score from 0 to 100 that evaluates if today is a favorable day for selling premium. It considers factors like Premium Edge, VIX, Vol Trend, Earnings Safety, and Term Structure, giving you a clear view of market conditions.

IV Rank

The IV Rank feature provides a 252-day lookback on the 30-day At-The-Money (ATM) implied volatility, helping you understand where current volatility stands in relation to historical norms. This empowers traders to identify premium-selling opportunities based on relative volatility levels.

VRP (Volatility Risk Premium)

VRP gives you the edge by subtracting the 20-day realized volatility from the 30-day implied volatility. This critical metric helps you assess whether options are overpriced, indicating potential profit in premium selling strategies.

Computed Strikes

Forget the guesswork; VolRadar delivers computed strikes based on your target delta or target credit. This feature provides precise entry points for your trades, ensuring you maximize your profit potential with minimal effort.

Quick Market Assessment

VolRadar allows traders to quickly assess market conditions with the Weather Score, enabling them to decide whether to initiate premium-selling strategies in just seconds. This is perfect for those who want to make swift decisions before the market opens.

Strategy Optimization

Use VolRadar to optimize your trading strategies. With detailed insights on VRP and IV Rank, you can refine your approach to selling premium, ensuring that you are capitalizing on market inefficiencies and maximizing your returns.

Earnings Event Preparation

Traders can leverage the Earnings-crush feature to anticipate potential IV collapses following earnings announcements. This allows for strategic planning around earnings events, helping traders take advantage of price movements effectively.
