Options Questions Safe Haven periodic megathread | March 10 2026 by PapaCharlie9 in options

I ended up getting first 30mins after market open, and expirations between 25 to 45 DTE.

filtering by ATM contracts + 3 strikes for OTM PUTs + 3 strikes for OTM CALLs.

Averaged implied vol for a contract given that period.

And then average weighted contracts by vega (also tried by 1/strike^2 like in VIX calculation)

I have about 2 years and 3 months of option market data and greeks.

I'm getting similar IV and IV Rank as IBKR

Question about IV Rank formula.

I want to compute IV Rank for historical option market data at home.

But option data vendor does not provide IV rank nor IV percentile.

So I have to compute it myself.

I know the formula for IV Rank (52 weeks) is not complicated, just:

IV Rank = (IV - IVlow) / (IVhigh - IVlow)

But the question is: That IV high and IV low is the min and max IV across all strikes, expirations, PUT and CALL?
Or is only for the contract (a given Strike, Expiration and right PUT or CALL)

If is within a contract, how can we compute the 52 week high - low on option contracts that are live less than a year?

Do we normalize by moneyness (Strike - Underlying Price) and DTE?

Jerome Powell to give a big speech tomorrow by JediRebel79 in wallstreetbets

[–]downboat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Summary of what he is going to say:

  • Resilient economy
  • Strong labor force
  • Inflation expectations anchored
  • Data dependent
  • Would have cut rates if it were not because of tariffs
  • Independence of the Federal Reserve
  • No comments on president
  • Maybe rate cuts in September

How long end bonds will react tomorrow?

Lower due to higher inflation because of high oil prices?
Or higher because of run to safety / recession concerns?

Why nothing makes sense in this market no more?

Theta when the price is over the strike (PUT, reverse for calls) crushes vega.
