that is the implied volatility of ATM options, which is different from the VIX, because any quote (on BID or ASK) can trigger a trade. For the CBOE's VIX one would can put a quote deep out of the money just to get a higher/lower VIX. On page 6 of this document (www.cboe.com/micro/vix/vixwhite.pdf) you can find how the VIX is calculated and how deep OTM options can influence the VIX. It would be great if DTN could offer a symbol for the SPX IV (which is the implied volatility of ATM options)
I was not referring to the VIX. I attached the SPX implied volatility. Here is a print screen of the SPX implied volatility from InteractiveBrokers (last 2 days). You can see is very different from the VIX, which at one point today was -10%. I would like to get this from your feed in order to render the graph in InvestorRT.
I would be interested in the put/call "dolar weighted" ratio. For example:lets consider 10$ calls for BAC are quoted for 1 cent and someone buys 1000. 8$ put on BAC goes for 25 cents and someone buys 50.
A normal put/call ratio is 50/1000 = 0.05 The put/call "dolar weighted" ratio is 12,5$/10$ = 1.25
is there a symbol for the SPX implied volatility?
thanks
