1. Does this matter for buying options
2. u answered questions A/O couldnt- good job. You actually consider the pricing as being the equalizer of the IV. Very good and informative to the individuals who are not aware of what IV Rank is and how its actually derived.
3. Mike. Very informative video and confirms what Mike (Dr Data) said on earlier Tasty Trade show. Here is the confusing part. On TOS platform (Option Statistics), it appears they are using IV Rank, not IV%. Example, JWN is listed with IV% of .79 on TOS.. But on the Chart IV label for JWN (Thinkscript IV code), IV Rank = .79 and IV% = .96. So is the TS code right & the TOS platform wrong with respect to IV% and if so, why doesn't TOS correct it and label IV properly - ie.. Rank instead of %? Thanks
