Volatility Orders

Description

A Volatility order is an TWS-specific order that allows you to trade volatility by calculating the limit price of an option as the function of the option's implied volatility. You specify the option volatility and TWS calculates the limit price. When you enable volatility trading in TWS, the bid and ask values are displayed as volatility instead of price. You can also enable dynamic management of these volatility orders, where TWS updates the limit price based on movement in the underlying price, cancels the order if the underlying price moves outside a high or low price range, and transmits a delta trade for the underlying when the option order executes or partially executes.

Example

You want to purchase 2 JUN06 XYZ 80.0 call options, so you create a Volatility page in TWS to see bid/ask volatility (as calculated by our Interactive Analytics Option Modeler) instead of bid/ask prices. You click the Ask price to create a BUY order. The Order Volatility field becomes editable and you enter a volatility value. The value you enter is used in the calculation to determine the limit price of the option.
