options - extreme IV?

Discussion in 'Trading' started by David's faith, Jan 9, 2024.

  1. Lets say instead of going short with stocks on BA for the last hour, you went short a OTM call 10 days out to earn some time decay too. How would you determine/calculate the risk for Volatility exploding even when the stock price falls (like when it massively falls)? Can I calculate that somehow with IB TWS options lab?

    Try this tool: https://optioncreator.com/
    - You can add new position as well remove them; it's very flexible.
    - Better always set the Min and Max ranges as the default Auto sometimes doesn't work.
    - And finding IV from the Premium sometimes gives an incorrect IV value, but it does not matter, since the Premium takes precedence over IV.

    Not sure if you can do it in IB risk navigator, in TOS you can enter volatility steps in the payoff.
