A VolRadar Weather Score component (20% weight) measuring whether realized volatility is declining. Cooling vol means stocks are settling down, which benefits premium sellers.
⚡ KEY TAKEAWAY: Falling RV means stocks are calming down while options still price in yesterday's turbulence. That lag is your edge.
Weather Score
65–100 = Favorable (green light). 40–64 = Selective (pick spots). 0–39 = Defensive (sit out or cut size). Check the Weather Score every morning before you trade — it takes 5 seconds and can save you from selling into a hostile environment.
Premium Edge
The biggest Weather Score driver at 30% weight. When Premium Edge is high, the market is overpaying for options — prime time to sell.
VIX Regime
VIX below 15 = premiums too cheap to bother. VIX above 30 = gap risk too high. The 15–25 zone is where sellers thrive. Always check VIX regime before sizing your positions.
Earnings Safety
Peak earnings season = minefield for premium sellers. When Earnings Safety is low, stick to stocks well past their report date.
