These two Microsoft Excel® dashboard display market quotes for tradable UDS for the crude oil contract and the E-mini S&P 500 traded on Globex. There is also a quote display with at-the-money (ATM) calls and puts with one strike below the ATM and three strikes above the ATM. Finally, there are two histogram charts displaying frequency distribution for symbols CLECIV and CLEPIV (implied volatility) or EPCIV and EPPIV. The current implied volatility using these symbols are highlighted as a green bar for calls and a red bar for puts. The colored bars indicate where the current implied volatility is relative to the closing implied volatility values over the last 200 daily bars. Learn more about frequency distribution here.
