Hi Naresh,



You can use the Mibian Library. It has the black scholes formula which you can use to derive the implied volatilty of the stock. Check this site: Loading...; there are a few examples given in here, which you can use to calcualte the IV.

It gives the call and put implied volatility… I want to calculate IV Rank of stock formula for it is IV Rank = ((Current IV - 52-Week IV Low)/(52-Week IV High- 52-Week IV Low))*100 and I need the values for 52 week low,high and current IV values

To calculate IV Rank, first, you need to fetch the options data for 52 weeks. You can get options data from data vendor or use nsepy to get options data for Indian markets. Then, compute the IV for each day using mibian package and plug into IV Rank formula. I hope this helps. Thanks!

which option type do we need to choose ? Is it PE or CE or average ?

For in general analysis, you can take average of PE and CE. However, if you want to get IV Rank for Call or IV Rank for Put then you need to only use CE or PE. Thanks
