Implied Volatility Bands

3 kwi 2021

This script produces price bands around an EMA based on a manually inputted Implied Volatility. The idea builds on my previous "Implied Move" script which helps visualize the distribution of prices that the market is 'pricing in' via options/implied volatility. It's up to the user to determine the implied volatility level they use, I like using the free version of QuikStrike that you can access via the CME Group website and then update the script's input daily. Another way to use the script is to input the implied volatility based on a forecast that you produce independently. Say implied volatility on June 2021 Crude Oil is 30% and you think it's rich by 2%, you can input 28% into the script to tweak the bands for a declining vol regime.
