What This Signal Means

IV Rank measures where current implied volatility sits relative to its 52-week range. An IV Rank above 70% means options premiums are near the top of their yearly range — you are collecting more premium per contract than usual. However, elevated IV often reflects genuine uncertainty (earnings, macro events, sector rotation), so higher premiums come with higher risk. Use IV Rank as a filter to find opportunities, then check VRP and RV ratio to confirm conditions favor sellers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IV Rank and how is it calculated?

IV Rank = (Current IV − 52-week Low IV) ÷ (52-week High IV − 52-week Low IV) × 100. A rank of 70% means current IV is 70% of the way between its yearly low and high. VolRadar uses the 30-day at-the-money implied volatility from ORATS.

Why is high IV Rank good for selling options?

Higher IV means fatter premiums. When IV eventually contracts back toward its mean, option sellers profit from both time decay (theta) and the volatility drop (vega). Selling when IV is elevated gives you a statistical tailwind.

Is high IV Rank alone enough to sell premium?

No. High IV Rank tells you premiums are rich, but it does not tell you why. Always check for upcoming earnings, news catalysts, and whether realized volatility confirms the move is overdone (positive VRP). Selling into a genuine volatility event can result in large losses.
