    IVR - IVP - ThinkScript

    Uploaded by

    Leanny Petit
    This document contains a thinkscript for calculating and displaying the implied volatility (IV) rank and IV percentile of different assets on a daily chart. It defines IV rank as the position of the current IV compared to its yearly high and low. IV percentile gives the percentage of days in the last year that were below the current IV. The script calculates these values and displays them with color coding to indicate if they are above or below 50%.

    # IV Rank is a description of where the current IV lies in comparison
    # to its yearly high and low IV
    #
    # IV Percentile gives the percentage of days over the last year, that
    # were below the current IV. If the IV Rank is above 50%, then
    # the script will highlight it green; otherwise red.
