    I'm looking for a volatility scanner which can give me the following :

    1) the volatility of this weeks ATM option (either call or put, don't care)
    2) the vol of next weeks ATM option
    3) diff between the two expressed as a percentage.

    For example, let's take AAPL, and lets say the current date is Mon 18-May and the underlying is 311. I would want to know the vol for the 310 Call strike for options expiring Fri 22-May and 29-May, and if they are something like 40% and 30%, then for (3) above, I'd be expecting the figure to be 33% ((40-30)/30 ).

    The scan needs to be run on a basket of underlyings, and throughout the day, based on real prices and not just EOD.

    If it helps I have IB and Option Net Explorer, and I have some IT skills so happy to try and code something basic if needed.

    Any ideas?
