Hi Bruce,

Is there a way to plot Historical (Actual) Volatility versus Implied Volatilty?

I'm personally interested in SPY at the moment, but I can see this being handy for other underlyings as I learn more about trading volatility.

Thanks!

I cannot think of any way to do so in the current version of TC2000. We can calculate historical volatility but there isn't a way to then take the ratio of HV to implied volatility.

Thanks, Bruce. 

For now I guess I can just compare the IV on the contracts I want to buy versus the one's I want to sell. If I need more data, I'll check the interwebs. :)
