App Store Description

iVolatility is now offering iVolatility Lite - a new free mobile trading application with intraday option and implied volatility data for iPhone/iPad/iPod.

iVolatility Lite is a must-have mobile trading app for all active option traders

Based on our options trading web tools such as Basic Options, Advanced Options, Advanced Historical Data, IV Graph and delivering the most popular features of these tools, iVolatility Lite includes Options Desk and Charts, two important screens for mobile stock and options trading.

The Options Desk displays intraday equity prices with volume and option chains for at-the-money strike prices for all expirations including option quotes, with volume, open interest, bid & ask with size, as well as implied volatility and all of the important Greeks needed for options trading such as Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho along with Theo. It covers all US equities with options (indexes, stocks, ETFs, and volatility indices – over 3700 names). Quotes, IV & Greeks are 20-minutes delayed.

Charts screen become a personalized equities watch list and used to monitor price and volume, along with the IV Index, (IVX) and Historical Volatility intraday along with closing values and changes. The symbol lookup on Charts includes the most active 1000 US symbols.

The custom watch list then can be sorted by tapping on heading. By double-tap on symbol, small detailed chart widget appears below with the intra day data chart. By changing the screen to horizontal, the chart is enlarged and additional chart settings become available.

IVIndex (IVX) used in Charts is the best measure of Implied Volatility, using a special weighting of at-the-money options interpolated to fixed maturities from 30 to 180 days. Created by IVolatility in 1999, IVX has become a well-respected market volatility estimator due to its availability for every optionable name, making it a convenient risk measure for trading.
Historical Volatility is the annualized rate of price change for the underlying, available for periods from 10 to 180 trading days. HV values are as of close.

iVolatility Lite has been tested to work on iOS5 and greater.
