The same thing, in writing

One tab for the whole vol picture

This is part two of the quick tips on things to do with ApexVol. Enter a ticker symbol, click the IV Intelligence tab, and the volatility landscape for that stock is on one screen. The same view is available for any stock, so entering a different symbol redraws the whole tab.

What the tab shows

The headline readings are the at the money IV over 20 days against the historical vol over the same 20 days, with the forecast 20 day vol beside them. From there the tab lists the volatility risk premium, the IV rank, the IV percentile, the expected move, the next earnings date, the range position and the pricing.

The models underneath

Below the readings sit the models, and each one opens on a click. One example is the volatility smile, which can be drawn for any expiration of the selected ticker.
