Frequently Asked Questions
What is IV crush?
IV crush is the sharp drop in implied volatility that typically follows a scheduled event (earnings, FDA decision, FOMC) as the event-premium priced into options collapses. It is why selling options into a known event and closing after is a common premium-harvesting setup — and why buying options into an event requires the realized move to exceed what the inflated IV already priced in.
Why 30-day ATM IV?
30-day ATM is the industry-standard reference point for a ticker's implied-volatility "level" — liquid, minimally skew-dependent, and comparable across tickers. Other tenors (7d, 60d, 90d) are tracked on each ticker's IV/HV History page.
How does this differ from IV Rank?
IV Rank measures where today's IV sits within its 52-week range (slow-moving, regime-level signal). This screener measures one-session change (fast-moving, event-level signal). Use IV Rank for regime classification and IV Change for catalyst detection.
When does this update?
Daily after market close, as soon as the new scan_tickers snapshot is persisted.
