But I need IV for stock and not different strike price

IV's are calculated from option prices ...to imply the expected volatility in future.

Stock option will have iv's. Not Underlying Stocks.

Annualized standard deviation of historical stock price is called historical volt.
In simple, HV is calculated from past price movements of stock. IV's from options of underlying.

As already mentioned by Mohan bhai, in the case of stocks, these IV values are calculated based on the stock options. Every individual strike has its own IV and that is systematically combined to get the Weighted IV Value for the whole stock. Some people mistakenly thinks that it is the IV of the Equities/ Stock, but in realty, it is all based on the options of that particular underlying stock.

In Indian Markets, there are a few vendors which provide such information, like - FinIdeas, Myfno, Greeksoft.co.in, Nest Options Trading Suite from omnesysindia etc. But non of them is free.

pannet bhai, I am not totally sure about it, but there are some tools / modules available within Matlab / R / Stremabase etc. which can calculate the Option Greeks etc. in real time, provided you have the required real time data for all those respective option contracts etc. Maybe some senior member can throw some light on this. The vendor names that I have mentioned above, must be using some similar tools in order to calculate the real time greeks, which they then display within their platforms to the clients.

Thanks and regards

Check the black scholes option calculator. Then u will get an idea how options are priced. And greeks
http://www.option-price.com/

Sharekhan also gives an option calculator in its websites.
thanks lemondew.

i subscribed to a few online services but most of them are lacking in some area. i am also getting tips to my mobile which i hate so much. i think this is something to do with my subscription. :mad:

i think its safe to conclude only sharekhan provides a realtime position greeks based on open trades, so one can view it without leaving the trading screen.

may be premium brokers like ... icici could be offering .. but i am not sure. thats what i want to find out.

So I think it is better to stay away from options market in India as we can never know volatility and options trading is all based on that only..

what do you need bro ?

volt for what ?

98% of times options trading does not require any in depth knowledge on Greeks, unless you are doing some neutral strategies to gain from times value drop.

If you mean to say that these iv's of calls and puts of different strikes are combined and the resultant is considered as the volt of underlying ...

No..They are not combined and there is nothing like weighted iv.
volt and iv are different.

volt - based on underlying.
iv's - On option prices.

Nifty iv's may fluctuate drastically without significant change in nifty.
