Frequently asked questions

What to know before getting started

VOLARB is a volatility analytics platform for options sellers. Screen the market for premium-selling setups, analyze any ticker’s volatility in depth, simulate the trade before you place it, and manage the position after — one structured workflow instead of a pile of spreadsheets and gut feel.

Traders who sell options premium — strangles, straddles, credit spreads, the wheel — and want a data-driven process. If you’d rather judge a trade by implied-versus-realized volatility than by an alert in a chatroom, this is for you.

Alert services hand you picks. VOLARB hands you a process: research-based screens surface candidates, then the analytics — implied vs. realized vol, term structure, skew, earnings history — let you judge whether premium is actually mispriced before you commit. No signals, no hype, no chatroom theatrics.

Volatility metrics update end-of-day from institutional market data providers. That’s deliberate: the edges VOLARB targets — variance risk premium, term-structure dislocations, earnings mispricing — are structural, not tick-by-tick. You’re making decisions about the next weeks, not the next minute.

You should understand the basics — what a strangle is, what implied volatility means. Beyond that, every metric in the platform ships with a plain-English explainer built in, so you learn the framework as you use it.

Yes. Monte Carlo simulation shows you the full P/L distribution of a position before you place it, with Kelly-based sizing, VaR and CVaR per contract, and probability of profit — so size is a calculation, not a guess.

Not yet — VOLARB is still in private development and isn’t taking new accounts. You can join the waitlist, and we’ll email you as soon as that changes. Waitlist members hear the launch pricing before it goes public, and get the weekly volatility letter in the meantime.
