IV Rank and Percentile"All stocks in the market have unique personalities in terms of implied volatility (their option prices). For example, one stock might have an implied volatility of 30%, while another has an implied volatility of 50%. Even more, the 30% IV stock might usually trade with 20% IV, in which case 30% is high. On the other hand, the 50% IV stock might usually trade with 75% IV, in which case 50% is low.
So, how do we determine whether a stock's option prices (IV) are relatively high or low?
The solution is to compare each stock's IV against its historical IV levels. We can accomplish this by converting a stock's current IV into a rank or percentile.
Implied Volatility Rank (IV Rank) Explained
Implied volatility rank (IV rank) compares a stock's current IV to its IV range over a certain time period (typically one year).
Here's the formula for one-year IV rank:
(Current IV - 1 Year Low IV) / (1 Year High IV - 1 Year Low IV) * 100
For example, the IV rank for a 20% IV stock with a one-year IV range between 15% and 35% would be:
(20% - 15%) / (35% - 15%) = 25%
An IV rank of 25% means that the difference between the current IV and the low IV is only 25% of the entire IV range over the past year, which means the current IV is closer to the low end of historical levels of implied volatility.
Furthermore, an IV rank of 0% indicates that the current IV is the very bottom of the one-year range, and an IV rank of 100% indicates that the current IV is at the top of the one-year range.
Implied Volatility Percentile (IV Percentile) Explained
Implied volatility percentile (IV percentile) tells you the percentage of days in the past that a stock's IV was lower than its current IV.
Here's the formula for calculating a one-year IV percentile:
Number of trading days below current IV / 252 * 100
As an example, let's say a stock's current IV is 35%, and in 180 of the past 252 days, the stock's IV has been below 35%. In this case, the stock's 35% implied volatility represents an IV percentile equal to:
180/252 * 100 = 71.42%
An IV percentile of 71.42% tells us that the stock's IV has been below 35% approximately 71% of the time over the past year.
Applications of IV Rank and IV Percentile
Why does it help to know whether a stock's current implied volatility is relatively high or low? Well, many traders use IV rank or IV percentile as a way to determine appropriate strategies for that stock.
For example, if a stock's IV rank is 90%, then a trader might look to implement strategies that profit from a decrease in the stock's implied volatility, as the IV rank of 90% indicates that the stock's current IV is at the top of its range over the past year (for a one-year IV rank).
On the other hand, if a stock's IV rank is 0%, then traders might look to implement strategies that profit from an increase in implied volatility, as the IV rank of 0% indicates the stock's current implied volatility is at the bottom of its range over the past year."
This script approximates IV by using the VIX products, which calculate the 30-day implied volatility of the specified security.
*Includes an option for repainting -- default value is true, meaning the script will repaint the current bar.
False = Not Repainting = Value for the current bar is not repainted, but all past values are offset by 1 bar.
True = Repainting = Value for the current bar is repainted, but all past values are correct and not offset by 1 bar.
In both cases, all of the historical values are correct, it is just a matter of whether you prefer the current bar to be realistically painted and the historical bars offset by 1, or the current bar to be repainted and the historical data to match their respective price bars.
As explained by TradingView,`f_security()` is for coders who want to offer their users a repainting/no-repainting version of the HTF data.

Cox-Ross-Rubinstein Binomial Tree Options Pricing Model [Loxx]Cox-Ross-Rubinstein Binomial Tree Options Pricing Model is an options pricing panel calculated using an N-iteration (limited to 300 in Pine Script due to matrices size limits) "discrete-time" (lattice based) method to approximate the closed-form Black–Scholes formula. Joshi (2008) outlined varying binomial options pricing model furnishes a numerical approach for the valuation of options. Significantly, the American analogue can be estimated using the binomial tree. This indicator is the complex calculation for Binomial option pricing. Most folks take a shortcut and only calculate 2 iterations. I've coded this to allow for up to 300 iterations. This can be used to price American Puts/Calls and European Puts/Calls. I'll be updating this indicator will be updated with additional features over time. If you would like to learn more about options, I suggest you check out the book textbook Options, Futures and other Derivative by John C Hull.
***This indicator only works on the daily timeframe!***
A quick graphic of what this all means:
In the graphic, "n" are the steps, in this case we can do up to 300, in production we'd need to do 5-15K. That's a lot of steps! You can see here how the binomial tree fans out. As I said previously, most folks only calculate 2 steps, here we are calculating up to 300.

Limitations of Black Scholes options pricing model
This is a widely used and well-known options pricing model, factors in current stock price, options strike price, time until expiration (denoted as a percent of a year), and risk-free interest rates. The Black-Scholes Model is quick in calculating any number of option prices. But the model cannot accurately calculate American options, since it only considers the price at an option's expiration date. American options are those that the owner may exercise at any time up to and including the expiration day.
What are Binomial Trees in options pricing?
A useful and very popular technique for pricing an option involves constructing a binomial tree. This is a diagram representing different possible paths that might be followed by the stock price over the life of an option. The underlying assumption is that the stock price follows a random walk. In each time step, it has a certain probability of moving up by a certain percentage amount and a certain probability of moving down by a certain percentage amount. In the limit, as the time step becomes smaller, this model is the same as the Black–Scholes–Merton model.
What is the Binomial options pricing model ?
This model uses a tree diagram with volatility factored in at each level to show all possible paths an option's price can take, then works backward to determine one price. The benefit of the Binomial Model is that you can revisit it at any point for the possibility of early exercise. Early exercise is executing the contract's actions at its strike price before the contract's expiration. Early exercise only happens in American-style options. However, the calculations involved in this model take a long time to determine, so this model isn't the best in rushed situations.
What is the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein Model?
The Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial model can be used to price European and American options on stocks without dividends, stocks and stock indexes paying a continuous dividend yield, futures, and currency options. Option pricing is done by working backwards, starting at the terminal date. Here we know all the possible values of the underlying price. For each of these, we calculate the payoffs from the derivative, and find what the set of possible derivative prices is one period before. Given these, we can find the option one period before this again, and so on. Working ones way down to the root of the tree, the option price is found as the derivative price in the first node.

Rule of 16 - LowerThe "Rule of 16" is a simple guideline used by traders and investors to estimate the expected annualized volatility of the S&P 500 Index (SPX) based on the level of the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). The VIX, often referred to as the "fear gauge" or "fear index," measures the market's expectations for future volatility. It is calculated using the implied volatility of a specific set of S&P 500 options.
The Rule of 16 provides a rough approximation of the expected annualized percentage change in the S&P 500 based on the VIX level. Here's how it works:
Find the VIX level: Look up the current value of the VIX. Let's say it's currently at 20.
Apply the Rule of 16: Divide the VIX level by 16. In this example, 20 divided by 16 equals 1.25.
Result: The result of this calculation represents the expected annualized percentage change in the S&P 500. In this case, 1.25% is the estimated annualized volatility.
So, according to the Rule of 16, a VIX level of 20 suggests an expected annualized volatility of approximately 1.25% in the S&P 500.
Here's how you can use the Rule of 16:
Market Sentiment: The VIX is often used as an indicator of market sentiment. When the VIX is high (above its historical average), it suggests that investors expect higher market volatility, indicating potential uncertainty or fear in the markets. Conversely, when the VIX is low, it suggests lower expected volatility and potentially more confidence in the markets.
Risk Management: Traders and investors can use the Rule of 16 to estimate the potential risk associated with their portfolios. For example, if you have a portfolio of S&P 500 stocks and the VIX is at 20, you can use the Rule of 16 to estimate that the annualized volatility of your portfolio may be around 1.25%. This information can help you make decisions about position sizing and risk management.
Option Pricing: Options traders may use the Rule of 16 to get a quick estimate of the implied annualized volatility priced into S&P 500 options. It can help them assess whether options are relatively expensive or cheap based on the VIX level.
It's important to note that the Rule of 16 is a simplification and provides only a rough estimate of expected volatility. Market conditions and the relationship between the VIX and the S&P 500 can change over time. Therefore, it should be used as a guideline rather than a precise forecasting tool. Traders and investors should consider other factors and use additional analysis to make informed decisions.
Support and Resistance levels from Options DataINTRODUCTION
This script is designed to visualize key support and resistance levels derived from options data on TradingView charts. It overlays lines, labels, and boxes to highlight levels such as Put Walls (gamma support), Call Walls (gamma resistance), Gamma Flip points, Vanna levels, and more.
These levels are intended to help traders identify potential areas of price magnetism, reversal, or breakout based on options market dynamics. All calculations and visualizations are based on user-provided data pasted into the input field, as Pine Script cannot directly fetch external options data due to platform limitations (explained below).
For convenience, my website allows users to interact with a bot that will generate the string for up to 30 tickers at once getting nearly real-time data on demand (data is cached for 15min). With the output string pasted into this indicator, it's a bliss to shuffle through your portfolio and see those levels for each ticker.
The script is open-source under TradingView's terms, allowing users to study, modify, and improve it. It draws inspiration from common options-derived metrics like gamma exposure and vanna, which are widely discussed in financial literature. No external code is copied without rights; all logic is original or based on standard mathematical formulas.
How the Options Levels Are Calculated
The levels displayed by this script are not computed within Pine Script itself—instead, they rely on pre-calculated values provided by the user (via a pasted data string). These values are derived from options chain data fetched from financial APIs (e.g., using libraries like yfinance in Python). Here's a step-by-step overview of how these levels are generally calculated externally before being input into the script:
Fetching Options Data:
Historical and current options chain data for a ticker (e.g., strikes, open interest, volume, implied volatility, expirations) is retrieved for near-term expirations (e.g., up to 90 days).
Current stock price is obtained from recent history.
Gamma Support (Put Wall) and Resistance (Call Wall):
Gamma Calculation: For each option, gamma (the rate of change of delta) is computed using the Black-Scholes formula:
gamma = N'(d1) / (S * sigma * sqrt(T))
where S is the stock price, K is the strike, T is time to expiration (in years), sigma is implied volatility, r is the risk-free rate (e.g., 0.0445), and N'(d1) is the normal probability density function.
Weighted gamma is multiplied by open interest and aggregated by strike.
The Put Wall is the strike below the current price with the highest weighted gamma from puts (acting as support).
The Call Wall is the strike above the current price with the highest weighted gamma from calls (acting as resistance).
Short-term versions focus on strikes closer to the money (e.g., within 10-15% of the price).
Gamma Flip Level:
Net dealer gamma exposure (GEX) is calculated across all strikes:
GEX = sum (gamma * OI * 100 * S^2 * sign * decay)
where sign is +1 for calls/-1 for puts, and decay is 1 / sqrt(T).
The flip point is the price where net GEX changes sign (from positive to negative or vice versa), interpolated between strikes.
Vanna Levels:
Vanna (sensitivity of delta to volatility) is calculated:
vanna = -N'(d1) * d2 / sigma
where d2 = d1 - sigma * sqrt(T).
Weighted by open interest, the highest positive and negative vanna strikes are identified.
Other Levels:
S1/R1: Significant strikes with high combined open interest and volume (80% OI + 20% volume), below/above price for support/resistance.
Implied Move: ATM implied volatility scaled by S * sigma * sqrt(d/365) (e.g., for 7 days).
Call/Put Ratio: Total call contracts divided by put contracts (OI + volume).
IV Percentage: Average ATM implied volatility.
Options Activity Level: Average contracts per unique strike, binned into levels (0-4).
Stop Loss: Dynamically set below the lowest support (e.g., Put Wall, Gamma Flip), adjusted by IV (tighter in low IV).
Fib Target: 1.618 extension from Put Wall to Call Wall range.
Previous day levels are stored for comparison (e.g., to detect Call Wall movement >2.5% for alerts).
Effect as Support and Resistance in Technical Trading
Options levels like gamma walls influence price action due to market maker hedging:
Put Wall (Gamma Support): High put gamma below price creates a "magnet" effect—market makers buy stock as price falls, providing support. Traders might look for bounces here as entry points for longs.
Call Wall (Gamma Resistance): High call gamma above price leads to selling pressure from hedging, acting as resistance. Rejections here could signal trims, sells or even shorts.
Gamma Flip: Where gamma exposure flips sign, often a volatility pivot—crossing it can accelerate moves (bullish above, bearish below).
Vanna Levels: Positive/negative vanna indicate volatility sensitivity; crosses may signal regime shifts.
Implied Move: Shows expected range; prices outside suggest overextension.
S1/R1 and Fib Target: Volume/OI clusters act as classic S/R; Fib extensions project upside targets post-breakout.
In trading, these are not guarantees—combine with TA (e.g., volume, trends). High activity levels imply stronger effects; low CP ratio suggests bearish sentiment. Alerts trigger on proximities/crosses for awareness, not advice.
Limitations of the TradingView Platform for Data Pulling
TradingView's Pine Script is sandboxed for security and performance:
No direct internet access or API calls (e.g., can't fetch yfinance data in-script).
Limited to chart data/symbol info; no real-time options chains.
Inputs are static per load; updates require manual pasting.
Caching isn't persistent across sessions.
This prevents dynamic data pulling, ensuring scripts remain lightweight but requiring external tools for fresh data.
Creative Solution for On-Demand Data Pulling
To overcome these limitations, users can use external tools or scripts (e.g., Python-based) to fetch and compute levels on demand. The tool processes tickers, generates a formatted string (e.g., "TICKER:level1,level2,...;TIMESTAMP:unix;"), and users paste it into the script's input. This keeps data fresh without violating platform rules, as computation happens off-platform. For example, run a local script to query APIs and output the string—adaptable for any ticker.
Script Functionality Breakdown
Inputs: Custom data string (parsed for levels/timestamp); toggles for short-term/previous/Vanna/stop loss; style options (colors, transparency).
Parsing: Extracts levels for the chart symbol; gets timestamp for "updated ago" display.
Drawing: Lines/labels for levels; boxes for gamma zones/implied move; clears old elements on updates.
Info Panel: Top-right summary with metrics (CP ratio, IV, distances, activity); emojis for quick status.
Alerts: Conditions for proximities, crosses, bounces (e.g., 0.5% bounce from Put Wall).
Performance: Uses vars for persistence; efficient for real-time.

Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)
Description
The "Improved Historical Volatility Calculator (No Options)" is a Pine Script indicator designed to calculate the historical volatility (HV) of assets without relying on options data. This tool is particularly useful for markets like forex, indices, or stocks where options trading might be limited or unavailable. It provides a customizable way to measure volatility based on historical price movements, with options to adjust the calculation period, trading days per year, and use an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) for enhanced sensitivity to recent data.
This indicator can be used standalone to visualize volatility trends or integrated with other scripts (e.g., option pricing models) to provide a manual input for implied volatility (IV).
Features
Customizable Period: Adjust the number of days (5 to 365) for volatility calculation.
Flexible Annualization: Set the number of trading days per year (default 252) to suit different markets (e.g., 365 for forex).
EWMA Option: Toggle between standard deviation and EWMA for a more responsive volatility measure.
Trend Adjustment: Removes the influence of price trends using an EMA-based detrending method.
Visual Output: Displays volatility as a histogram and labels the latest value on the chart.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Load the indicator onto your chart via the Pine Script editor or the Indicators menu.
Configure Settings:
Period for Calculation: Set the lookback period (e.g., 30 days) to calculate volatility.
Trading Days per Year: Adjust for your market (e.g., 252 for stocks, 365 for continuous markets).
Use EWMA: Enable for a weighted approach focusing on recent volatility.
Interpret the Results: The histogram shows volatility in decimal form (e.g., 0.03136 = 3.136%), and the label displays the percentage on the last bar.
Integration: Use the calculated volatility value (in decimal form) as a manual IV input in other scripts, such as option pricing models.
Example
For the DXY index, with a 60-day period and 252 trading days per year, the indicator might output a volatility of 0.03136 (3.136%). You can input this value into an options model to estimate standard deviation levels, adjusting for the days to expiry.
Notes
Accuracy: The indicator provides a reliable estimate of historical volatility, with improvements like trend removal and EWMA. For precision, use a period that matches your trading horizon (e.g., 30-90 days).
Limitations: Volatility is based on historical data and may not reflect future market conditions or implied volatility from options.
Compatibility: Tested on TradingView as of June 16, 2025. Ensure sufficient historical data is available for the chosen period.
Suggestions
Increase the period for volatile assets to smooth out noise.

***Each strategy in options is based on different mathematical equations, use this indicator only for the strategy in the headline.***
What does the indicator do?
The indicator is based on the Black-Scholes model, which uses partial differential equations to determine the option pricing. Due to options non-linear behavior, it is hard to visualize the option price. The indicator calculates the solutions of the Black-Scholes equation and plots them on the chart so traders can view how the option pricing will behave.
How the indicator does it?
The indicator uses five values (four dominants and one less dominant) to solve the Black-Scholes equation. The values are stock price, the strike price of the option, time to expiration, risk-free interest rate, and implied volatility .

Call ratio spread debit indicatorCall ratio spread debit indicator developed by Chobotaru Brothers.
You need to have basic knowledge in option trading to use this indicator!
This spread is a DEBIT SPREAD.
The indicator shows P&L lines of the options strategy. Use only for stocks since the mathematical model of options for Future instruments is different from stocks. Plus, the days' representation in futures is also different from stocks (stocks have fewer days than futures ).
***Each strategy in options is based on different mathematical equations, use this indicator only for the strategy in the headline.***
What does the indicator do?
The indicator is based on the Black-Scholes model, which uses partial differential equations to determine the option pricing. Due to options non-linear behavior, it is hard to visualize the option price. The indicator calculates the solutions of the Black-Scholes equation and plots them on the chart so traders can view how the option pricing will behave.
How the indicator does it?
The indicator uses five values (four dominants and one less dominant) to solve the Black-Scholes equation. The values are stock price, the strike price of the option, time to expiration, risk-free interest rate, and implied volatility .
