Hello, Anyone knows whether or not it is possible to chart index implied volatility getting data from IB??
Should be - I don't have a intraday data feed myself, but you can code anything if there is data for it in AMI. EOD data has a value for example ticker, O, H, L, C, vol, Open Interest, etc... your intraday data will have a value perhaps, if it doesn't you can infer the volatility yourself via a formula... i.e parkinson volatility of the past 252 trading sessions, etc.. I find using for loops to calculate volatility formulas is intensive, perhaps there is a better way. if IB provides a ready made data stream with volatility, you could just plot the datavalue on the screen yourself without much problem
Thanks Psytrade, For historical volatility it is, as you said, possible to code it but what I wonder is whether it is possible to get index implied volatility the same way it is charted on the IB chart. Anyone using AB and IB for options trading?
I'm sure many folks use AB w/ IB. If you don't get answers for this board, there should be plenty of information on the web.
