VolRadar

VolRadar is a cutting-edge daily options analytics platform designed specifically for premium sellers—traders who utilize strategies like iron condors, credit spreads, cash-secured puts, and the wheel on S&P 500 stocks. By aggregating and analyzing end-of-day options data from ORATS, VolRadar provides users with actionable insights each morning, allowing them to make informed trading decisions before the market opens. The platform features a unique Weather Score that offers a quick glance at market conditions, indicating whether it's a favorable day for selling premium. With data covering over 500 US stocks and major ETFs, traders can quickly identify top candidates for options selling, saving them valuable time and enhancing their strategies. VolRadar is not just a tool; it’s a trusted partner in navigating the complexities of options trading.

Weather Score

The Weather Score is a comprehensive metric that ranges from 0 to 100, offering a quick assessment of whether market conditions favor selling premium. A higher score indicates better opportunities for premium sellers, helping users make informed decisions at a glance.

IV Rank

This feature provides a 252-day lookback on the 30-day At-The-Money implied volatility (IV). By understanding how current IV levels compare to historical data, traders can assess whether options are overpriced or underpriced, enabling smarter trades.

VRP (Volatility Risk Premium)

The VRP is calculated by subtracting the 20-day realized volatility from the 30-day implied volatility. This measure helps traders identify potential profit opportunities by revealing whether options are priced higher than they should be based on recent market movements.

Computed Strikes

VolRadar generates target delta or target credit strikes tailored to the user’s trading strategy. With pre-filled strike prices based on market analysis, traders can streamline their decision-making process and execute trades more efficiently.
