This looks like a neat site with lotsa cool stuff. But I'm curious Ron - your IV charts are of something you call "IV30". There's also IV60, etc.

I have a lot of questions about what those are and how they're calculated, but I assume you have something on your website that explains it. Could you point me to it? Thanks.

Sure thing,

IV30 is 30 day implied (like the VIX for an individual stock)
IV60 is 60 day implied
IV90 is 90 day implied.
HV10 is 10 day historical
HV20 is 20 day historical
… and so on.

Here is a post I did a while ago that explains how we do the calcs…
