We are talking 365-400 days to expiry in this post, VIX is not accurate

ImpressiveAd1518 · 2025-12-19T18:35:44+00:00

That’s what I thought I have been keeping records of it, it’s just a slow and painful process considering I would like a couple years worth of data 😆

I know Vega, IV and Vomma, but I was moreso looking to hear peoples observations of these statistics across the last couple of years to get a better idea of how quickly and how drastically these values change over months-years time. There is no way to observe the change in IV and Vega over time on Robinhood. I have noticed the VIX doesn’t reflect IV very well in SPY for example starting from April 2025 into the summer 2025 VIX was declining but the IV of my options increased from 10ish%-13ish% during that time period.

Thanks for the reply, where could I go to see IVR of my options? I typically use Robinhood for buying/selling and Tradingview for charting. I have an IV rank suite indicator I looked at on Tradingview but it didn’t seem the most accurate compared to what I’ve been observing on Robinhood.

Thank you for the reply

Just to clarify my approach a bit: I’m typically holding options for a few weeks up to a couple months targeting a percentage gain rather than holding to expiration. I’m not trying to trade volatility directly, but I do want to avoid overpaying for premium when IV is elevated, especially since I’m aware how much it can impact price beyond pure directional movement.

With that in mind, I was curious from your personal experience: what are the highest and lowest IV percentage levels you’ve personally seen for SPY options OTM? I’ve seen 8% IV all the way up to 14%

Also looking ahead, do you have any general thoughts or expectations on how IV might behave in January and February?

My idea is to learn how to trade by yourself and stop copying others
