IV Rank measures where the current implied volatility sits relative to its range over the past year. A rank of 80% means IV is in the top 20% of its annual range — ideal for selling premium.

What's the difference between IV Rank and IV Percentile?

IV Rank compares the current IV to the high and low over the past year (linear scale). IV Percentile counts the percentage of days IV was lower than today. IV Rank is better for spotting extremes; IV Percentile is better for gauging how unusual current levels are.

How do I use the scanner?

The scanner page shows all tracked stocks ranked by IV rank. You can sort by any column, filter by sector, and search for specific symbols. High IV Rank stocks (80+) are great candidates for premium-selling strategies.

Where does the data come from?

We pull options data from major exchanges via institutional-grade data feeds, with quotes updated throughout the trading day.

What plans do you offer?

We have three plans: Free ($0 — full IV scanner, sector heatmap, 10 watchlist symbols, 500 API calls/month), Pro ($49/mo or $470/yr — flow alerts, earnings analysis, short pressure scanner, GEX/DEX, CSV export, API access, 50 watchlist symbols), and Premium ($149/mo or $1,430/yr — everything in Pro plus live streaming, custom alert rules, dark pool flow, unlimited watchlist, bulk API).

How does billing work?

We offer monthly and yearly billing via Stripe. Yearly plans save you roughly two months. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your billing settings. No long-term contracts.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from Dashboard > Settings > Billing. You keep access through the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees.

Do you offer refunds?

We don't offer automatic refunds, but if you're unhappy within the first 7 days, email support@voledge.io and we'll work it out.

What is unusual options flow?

Unusual flow flags options orders where volume significantly exceeds open interest, or where the trade size is abnormally large. These can signal institutional or 'smart money' positioning. Available on the Flow page for Pro and Premium users.

How do I export data as CSV?

On the Scanner or Flow page, click the 'Export CSV' button in the top-right toolbar. This downloads the current filtered view. CSV export requires a Pro or Premium plan.

Can I set custom alerts?

Pro users can set IV rank threshold alerts on watchlist symbols. Premium users get a full rule builder with multi-condition alerts (e.g., IV Rank > 80 AND volume > 10,000). Manage alerts from the Watchlist page.

Yes! Pro and Premium plans include API access for programmatic data retrieval. Create an API key in Dashboard > Settings > API Keys. See our docs for endpoints, rate limits, and examples.

What is the earnings IV crush analysis?

The Earnings page shows upcoming earnings with current IV, estimated move, and historical IV crush data. IV crush is the sharp drop in implied volatility after an earnings announcement — knowing the typical crush helps you size trades correctly.

How does the Short Pressure Scanner work?

We estimate daily short interest by combining FINRA short volume reports, bi-monthly FINRA SI snapshots, and SEC Fails-to-Deliver data. A calibrated cover rate model interpolates between official reports to give you a daily estimate. The composite Short Pressure Score (0-100) weights SI%, short volume ratio, days to cover, FTD momentum, and put flow bias. Stocks scoring 80+ with SI above 15% are flagged as squeeze candidates.

How often is data updated?

Scanner data refreshes every 5 minutes during market hours. Options flow updates every 3 minutes. Premium users with live streaming get updates every 15 seconds.

Which browsers are supported?

VolEdge works in all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend Chrome or Firefox for the best experience. Mobile browsers are fully supported.

# High [IV Rank screener](https://voledge.io/iv-rank) Stocks Today: NOW Hits 93 as Market Breadth Turns Bearish

**Meta description**: High IV rank stocks today: NOW at 93, SNOW and SNAP both at 57. VIX regime, [GEX dashboard](https://voledge.io/dashboard/gex) levels, and the top implied volatility setups for Apr 13.

---

**ServiceNow** (**NOW**) printed an IV Rank of 93 into Monday's open — the highest reading in the VolEdge universe and a direct consequence of Friday's -7.5% drawdown. With breadth negative (15 advancing / 33 declining) and an average IV Rank of 38 across tracked names, the surface is pricing selective stress, not a broad vol event.

## Market Volatility Regime: VIX and Term Structure

The tape is bearish but orderly. Average daily change across 49 tracked names is -0.94%, with Technology leading sectors lower at -1.08%. No VIX reading is available in today's snapshot, but the implied-vol distribution tells the story: 11 names with IV Rank ≥ 50, concentrated in software and consumer discretionary, while the median name sits at IV Rank 38 — elevated but not extreme.

The GEX picture diverges sharply by index. **QQQ** total GEX is +258.8B with max gamma pinned at 612 and flip strike at 612 — a strongly positive-gamma regime where dealer hedging dampens intraday ranges. **SPY** total GEX is -252.1B with no clean flip strike, max gamma at 680, and a stacked put wall at the same level. This is a short-gamma regime for the broad market: below 680, dealer hedging amplifies downside rather than absorbing it.

## Top IV Rank Setups Today

**NOW** at IV Rank 93, current IV 88.4%, following a -7.5% single-day drawdown. This is the cleanest premium-rich setup in the book — IV Rank at the 100th percentile on a stock that just dislocated lower. The environment favors defined-risk premium selling structures, but single-stock event risk remains elevated until a catalyst is ruled out.

**Snowflake** (**SNOW**) and **Snap** (**SNAP**) both sit at IV Rank 57 with current IVs of 69.9% and 85.2% respectively — both at the 98-100th percentile of their trailing distributions. Cross-reference with the [earnings calendar](/tools/[earnings calendar](https://voledge.io/dashboard/earnings)-calendar) before structuring anything; software IV this rich typically requires an upcoming event to justify. If no catalyst, the spread between IV and realized favors premium sellers; if earnings are inside the window, this is event vol, not mean-reversion vol.

**DoorDash** (**DASH**) at IV Rank 55 (60.3% IV) and **Cloudflare** (**NET**) at IV Rank 54 (83.7% IV) round out the upper tier. **Affirm** (**AFRM**) at IV Rank 53 prints at the 100th IV percentile — a consumer-credit name with elevated IV amid broader discretionary weakness (-0.48% sector-wide). The common thread across these names is rotation, not idiosyncratic blowups. Use the [full IV Rank screener](/tools/iv-rank-screener) to filter by trend direction before selecting strikes.

## GEX Regime and Key Levels

Single-name GEX is concentrated and actionable. **NVDA** shows +173.0B total GEX with max gamma at 187.5 and a put wall at 185 — a strongly pinned regime. **AAPL** max gamma sits at 265 with the put wall at 260; price at $260.48 is sitting directly on dealer-defended support. **TSLA** flip strike and max gamma both at 352.5, with price at $348.95 — just below the flip, which is the regime-transition line. A move back above 352.5 flips TSLA into positive-gamma territory. See the [GEX dashboard](/tools/gex-dashboard) for strike-level detail.

## What to Watch Today

The SPY short-gamma / QQQ long-gamma split is the setup. If SPY holds above 680, the QQQ pin absorbs the tape. If SPY breaks 680 with breadth staying negative, the short-gamma regime does the work on the downside and single-name IV ranks in the 50-90 cohort are likely to expand further before mean-reverting.
