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.

--- **Title:** High [IV Rank screener](https://voledge.io/iv-rank) Stocks Today: NOW, RBLX, and MSFT Lead the Screener — Apr 15, 2026

**Meta description:** High IV rank stocks today: NOW at 70, RBLX at 63, MSFT at 62. Tech +2.06%, SPY [GEX dashboard](https://voledge.io/dashboard/gex) positive at $388B. VolEdge daily brief for Apr 15. ---

# High IV Rank Stocks Today: NOW, RBLX, and MSFT Top a Bullish Tape

**ServiceNow (NOW)** is carrying a 70 IV Rank into a broad risk-on session — the highest reading on the screener despite breadth running 38 advancers to 10 decliners and tech leading at +2.06%. That divergence between elevated single-name premium and a cooperative index tape is the setup worth noting before the open.

## Market Volatility Regime: VIX and Term Structure

Today's snapshot is dominated by positioning, not the fear gauge. SPY total GEX sits at **+$388B** with the flip strike at 690 and call wall at 694. QQQ GEX is **+$108B**, flip 624, call wall 628. Both indices are in a deeply positive-gamma regime, which historically produces compressed intraday ranges and mean-reverting price action — dealers are long gamma and hedging flows dampen moves rather than amplifying them. With the tape leaning bullish (avg change +1.95%, consumer discretionary +1.62% alongside tech), the combination points toward a pinned-drift higher tape unless SPY breaks decisively below the 683 put wall.

## Top IV Rank Setups Today

The implied volatility rank screener is showing 13 names above the 50 threshold with an index-level average IV Rank of 41 — meaningful dispersion for a bullish-breadth day.

- **NOW — IV Rank 70, IV 71.5%.** The highest-ranked name on the list. Premium is in the top third of its 52-week band while the broader tape is bid. Absent a clear [earnings calendar](https://voledge.io/dashboard/earnings) catalyst inside the window, the elevated IV looks more like carry from recent single-name flow than a macro repricing. The environment favors defined-risk premium-selling structures; the [full IV Rank screener](/tools/iv-rank-screener) shows where NOW stands versus sector peers.

- **RBLX — IV Rank 63, current IV 87.3%.** The absolute IV print is the highest in the top 10 — RBLX is trading at $58.30, +1.2% on the day, but its options are pricing in outsized movement. When IV Rank and absolute IV both run hot on a name trending with the market, the spread between implied and realized typically favors sellers once the catalyst fades.

- **MSFT — IV Rank 62, IV 43.5%.** More interesting than it looks. MSFT is +2.3% today at $393.11 and the absolute IV is modest, but a 62 IV Rank means current pricing is rich versus MSFT's own history. Large-cap names with IV Rank above 60 and positive index GEX are a textbook backdrop for credit structures.

- **DASH (61), Ford (F) (61), DDOG (57), SNAP (56), AFRM (56).** SNAP in particular — up 11.3% today on 41K volume with IV at 84.4% — is the clearest case of an already-repriced name where implied vol may lag realized unless the move continues. Check the [earnings calendar](/tools/earnings-calendar) before engaging; several of these sit inside typical announcement windows.

## GEX Regime and Key Levels

Single-name GEX reinforces the pinning thesis. **NVDA** shows max gamma at 195 with a call wall at 195 and put wall at 190 — a tight gamma pocket. **AAPL** is anchored at 260 across flip, max gamma, and walls. **TSLA** is the outlier: call wall 365 sits below the put wall at 370, an inverted structure that suggests dealer positioning is still resolving. Full strike-level detail is on the [GEX dashboard](/tools/gex-dashboard).

## What to Watch Today

Watch SPY 690 as the regime line — a clean break below flips the index into negative gamma and invalidates the pinning setup that underwrites today's elevated-IV premium-selling backdrop. Until then, the data points to a constructive tape with dispersion concentrated in single names.
