How can I take this IV rank study and use it to scan?

I have recently added the following study that plots IV rank (credit to TechnoloTRADE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcT7tlaJZr6mpM8LMRnq3KQ):

declare lower;
declare hide_on_intraday;

#IVPercentile
def vol = imp_volatility();
input DisplayIVPercentile = yes;
input DisplayImpVolatility= yes;
input DisplayDaily1StandardDev = yes;
input DisplayWeekly1StandardDev = yes;
input DisplayMonthly1StandardDev = yes;

input TimePeriod = 252;

def data = if !isNaN(vol) then vol else vol[-1];
def hi = highest(data, TimePeriod);
def lo = lowest(data, TimePeriod);
plot Percentile = (data – lo) / (hi – lo) * 100;
def lowend = Percentile < 25;
def highend = Percentile > 50;

#Labels
addlabel(DisplayIVPercentile , concat(“IV Rank: “,aspercent(Percentile /100)), if lowend then color.red else if highend then color.green else color.yellow);

addlabel(DisplayImpVolatility, concat(“ImpVolatility: “,aspercent(vol)), if lowend then color.red else if highend then color.green else color.yellow);

def ImpPts = (vol / Sqrt(252)) * close;
AddLabel(DisplayDaily1StandardDev , Concat(“Daily 1 SD +/- $”, Astext( ImpPts, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES)), if lowend then color.red else if highend then color.green else color.yellow); ;

def ImpPts2 = (vol / Sqrt(52)) * close;
AddLabel(DisplayWeekly1StandardDev, Concat(“Weekly 1 SD +/- $”, Astext( ImpPts2, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES)), if lowend then color.red else if highend then color.green else color.yellow); ;

def ImpPts3 = (vol / Sqrt(12)) * close;
AddLabel(DisplayMonthly1StandardDev, Concat(“Monthly 1 SD +/- $”, Astext( ImpPts3, NumberFormat.TWO_DECIMAL_PLACES)), if lowend then color.red else if highend then color.green else color.yellow); ;

plot LowVol = 25;
plot HighVol = 50;

LowVol.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

I’d like to use that script to create a scan that identifies those instruments that currently have an IV rank of 50 or higher. I tried to do so, using information I have learned from several of Pete’s videos, but I have not succeeded. I hope to find some help here and, if so, maybe the information would be valuable to others in the community.

Regards,

DCO/hm

Have you viewed our video on this topic?

This is one of our premium indicators. Very inexpensive. It includes many more features than the code you posted and we provide a custom scan along with it.

Pete, thanks for the reply. Your indicator looks like it will fit the bill very nicely. I am exploring IV rank/percentile as it relates to JFC’s squeeze indicator. (I’d love to have his new squeeze power indicator but the only way I know to get it so far is through a class that would cost me over a grand and I’m not convinced of my own ability to get that much value out of it.) Anyhow, I’ll happily work with your IV percentile indicator in the meantime. Thanks!

Thanks for the order David. Its being processed immediately. I’m interested to learn more about this ”Power squeeze”. You have any screenshots?
