What is VolRadar?
VolRadar is a daily options analytics platform built for premium sellers. It scans over 500 S&P 500 stocks overnight and ranks the best premium-selling setups by volatility edge, delivering actionable insights before the market opens.
The core feature is the Weather Score — a single number from 0 to 100 that rates overall conditions for selling premium. A score of 65+ signals favorable conditions; 40–64 suggests selective selling; below 40 means stand aside. The score is driven by five factors on institutional-grade data from ORATS and CBOE.
For each ticker, VolRadar provides IV Rank, Volatility Risk Premium (VRP), earnings risk flags, and a strategy ranking. Users get up to three pre-computed trade setups with strikes, breakeven, max loss, and estimated credit — for strategies like short puts and iron condors. The Market Stress Monitor adds a separate risk gauge based on mega-cap option skew, tracking broad risk windows since 2007.
VolRadar also includes free tools: IV Rank Lookup, Expected Move, DTE Optimizer, Put/Call Ratio, income calculator, and screeners for covered calls, high IV stocks, and wheel candidates. A free tier gives access to the Weather Score, top 5 scanner candidates, and one full ticker report per day — no credit card required.
