What is IV Intelligence?

IV Intelligence IV Intelligence is a unified implied volatility analysis dashboard that combines 9 analytical views — from basic IV rank to ML-predicted forward volatility — into one tool.

Compare any ticker's vol profile against SPY or its sector ETF to identify relative value opportunities and pricing regime shifts.

Why this matters for your trading.

How professional options traders use IV Intelligence to find edge.

Know If Vol Is Cheap or Expensive in 5 Seconds

IV rank and percentile versus the 1-year range tell you immediately whether current premiums are elevated or depressed — the single most important input for deciding to buy or sell vol.

Find Relative Value Across Tickers

The Relative Value tab compares your ticker's IV against SPY and its sector ETF. If AAPL IV is at the 90th percentile while XLK is at the 30th, AAPL options are relatively expensive.

Forecast Where Vol Is Heading

ML-predicted forward vol projections show where the model expects IV to be in 1, 2 and 3 months. Trade with the forecast or against it — either way, you see the base case.

Separate Earnings Vol from Core Vol

The pricing regime tab isolates the earnings premium from the underlying vol level. Know how much of today's IV is earnings-driven vs structural demand.

Earnings Setup

Vol Regime Awareness

The pricing regime tab classifies current vol as Normal, Elevated or Depressed — adjust your strategy mix accordingly.
