Volatility Lab

A comprehensive toolkit of nine volatility tools designed to help you uncover superior trading opportunities.


Probability Lab

The Volatility Lab provides a snapshot of past and future readings for volatility on a stock, its industry peers and some measure of the broad market. Use tabs along the bottom of the tool to view Implied Volatility, Historical Volatility and Industry Comparisons.

  • Gauge and view what the option market is projecting for a stock's future direction based upon its historical movement.
  • View at a glance call and put open interest across available expirations to see where traders are positioned.
  • Identify sentiment among option traders by measuring multi-expiry skew over time.
  • See how implied and historic volatility on a stock compares to its peers.

For details on using the Probability Lab, see the TWS Users' Guide.
