Understanding IV Term Structure Intelligence

Reality vs Fiction Analysis

Traditional implied volatility charts show what traders see on their screens, but not what they can actually execute. Our system reveals the gap between displayed quotes (fiction) and volume-weighted reality (what you can actually trade).

This dual-line visualization instantly shows market stress: when lines converge, execution is reliable. When they diverge, expect higher costs and wider spreads than displayed quotes suggest.

Key Insight: Use the gap between reality and fiction as your primary execution risk indicator. Larger gaps signal higher transaction costs and reduced strategy effectiveness.

Quality-Weighted Decision Making

Each data point includes quality intelligence for position sizing. Green points support full positions, red points suggest caution.

Application: Scale positions by quality: 100% institutional, 50% professional, 25% research grade.
