  1. # IV_Rank - IMPLIED VOLATILITY RANK - Adds a colored label to the chart showing IV Rank
  2. #
  3. # This study simply places a label on the chart showing the current IV
  4. # Rank, otherwise known as IV Percentile. In addition, the label is
  5. # color-coded to hint at the IV Rank, where lower values appear red and
  6. # higher values are green, suggesting greater premium available to be
  7. # sold at a higher IV Rank.
  8. #
  9. # For a more complex presentation of IV Rank in the context of past implied
  10. # volatility, see my other thinkScript: http://pastebin.com/0Vumd8Gt

  28. # This version of the IV Rank study adds dynamic color-coding, for quick
  29. # identification of high- or low-IV Rank. The code has also been
  30. # streamlined for faster execution and ease of interpretation. There is
  31. # also no need to specify a period for the study - the entire aggregation
  32. # period on the chart is used.
  33. #
  34. # The user input brightness can range from 0 to 100 and controls the
  35. # intensity of the plot's red-green color scheme. A lower brightness will
  36. # show up better on a light background, and vice versa.
