Build Trade →Why two RV values? Yang-Zhang RV (68.4%, OHLC-based) captures intraday volatility, while ORATS RV (72.5%, close-to-close) uses only closing prices. For TER, YZ is lower — suggesting closing prices reflect more volatility than intraday action. VRP is computed using ORATS RV to match the IV source. Gap: 4.1pp. Full IV Analysis →

Teradyne shows moderately favorable conditions for premium selling. Yang-Zhang realized volatility reads 68.4% over 20 days versus a 52.0% 60-day baseline. The RV Ratio (HV 20d / IV 30d) is 0.86, indicating calming conditions relative to implied expectations. An information technology sector component tracked by volradar. For premium sellers tracking TER, this ratio suggests options are likely priced for more movement than the stock is currently delivering.
Looking at the past 18 trading days, TER's RV ratio has been trending lower. The ratio ranged from 1.08 to 0.98, with the current reading of 0.86 near the lower end. 12 of 18 days showed seller-favorable conditions. A gradual decline is often more sustainable than a sharp drop, suggesting TER may remain in this lower-vol regime for a while.
Based on current realized volatility, traders can expect TER to move approximately ±$13.30 (4.3%) per day and ±$29.74 (9.6%) over five trading days. At a stock price of $308.51, these ranges are derived from the Yang-Zhang volatility model which accounts for overnight gaps and intraday range — more accurate than simple close-to-close calculations. Premium sellers typically place short strikes outside these 1-standard-deviation ranges to achieve approximately 68%+ probability of profit.
Current conditions on TER point toward range-bound strategies like iron condor. Moderately calm conditions (ratio 0.86). Range-bound behavior favors iron condors. Iron Condor benefits from time decay while defining maximum risk on both sides — a structure that suits TER's current volatility profile where directional edge is limited but overall conditions are acceptable for premium collection.

Teradyne currently shows a strong premium selling signal with an RV Ratio of 0.86. Realized volatility is below implied volatility, suggesting options may be overpriced relative to actual price movement.
Teradyne's volatility is measured using two key metrics. The RV Ratio compares realized volatility (ORATS HV 20d) to implied volatility (IV 30d). When the RV Ratio drops below 0.85, realized movement is well below what options are pricing — the sweet spot for premium sellers. VRP (Volatility Risk Premium) measures the gap between IV and HV in percentage points — positive VRP means options are overpriced relative to actual movement. Current RV Ratio: 0.86.
Teradyne's snapshot: IV Rank 87% (elevated premiums), VRP +11.3pp (options overpriced), RV Ratio 0.86 (normal volatility). These three metrics work together — IV Rank shows historical context, VRP shows current overpricing, and RV Ratio shows the volatility trend. See the IV Analysis page for peer comparisons and deeper breakdown.
VolRadar provides 10 analysis pages for Teradyne: Overview (this page), Premium Selling (signal and strategy verdict), VRP Analysis (volatility risk premium history), Expected Move (range and probabilities), IV Analysis (implied volatility breakdown and peer comparison), Earnings Crush (historical post-earnings IV patterns), Options Strategy Builder (18 presets + custom calculator), Covered Call Analysis (ranked by CC Score), Wheel Strategy (CSP calculator and viability), and Support & Resistance Walls (options-derived price levels).
Every options trade carries risk: undefined-risk strategies (naked puts/calls) expose you to large losses on gap moves, while defined-risk strategies cap losses but reduce premium. For Teradyne, current conditions favor premium sellers, but all options trades carry significant risk — always size positions so no single trade risks more than 1-3% of your account. Use the Strategy Builder to model worst-case scenarios before entering.
An IV Rank of 87% means Teradyne's current implied volatility is higher than most readings over the past year. Elevated IV can indicate the market expects larger moves ahead, creating higher premiums for sellers but also higher risk if the move materializes.
Teradyne's Volatility Risk Premium (VRP) is +11.3pp, meaning implied volatility exceeds realized volatility by that amount. A positive VRP indicates options are overpriced relative to actual stock movement — this is the statistical edge premium sellers seek.
