Using Implied Volatility Rank and Percentile to Find Trading Opportunities

Webinar Recorded on Nov 9, 2022  | 1 hour Download Slides (PDF)

Webinar Description

There are many drivers that influence options strategies including volatility. Understanding implied volatility's impact on option prices and strategies is critical to a trader's success. Barchart's IV Rank & Percentile Page gives traders a look at stocks with the most option activity to determine if the "at the money" implied volatility is relatively "high" or "low." This comparison allows traders to decide if these options are overpriced or undervalued and can help determine which strategy is best suited for a specific market environment.

Join John Rowland, Barchart's Head of Trading Education, as he shows you how to use Barchart's IV Rank & Percentile page to help you select the right strategy for the right market. John will also demonstrate how to evaluate and execute a few options strategies such as when low volatility presents a buying opportunity and when high volatility presents a selling opportunity. Lastly, John will share some of his guidelines and preferences for specific strategies.

In this webinar, you will learn about:

  • Implied and Historical Volatility
  • Volatility’s Impact on Option Pricing
  • Trading Strategies for High & Low Volatility Markets
  • IV Screening on Watchlists and Portfolios
