Option Circle Announces Groundbreaking Volatility Analysis Tools for Advanced Options Strategists

New 'Volatility Intelligence Engine,' backed by three pending patents, makes over 8,000 institutional-grade metrics available per stock

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Option Circle, a leading platform for automated options trading, today announced the launch of its proprietary Volatility Intelligence Engine, a sophisticated new suite of analytical tools. For the first time, the complex, multi-layered analysis used by elite quantitative hedge funds is being made available to the retail public. The technology is so innovative that a portfolio of three pending patents supports it.

While most platforms are limited to surface-level metrics, the Volatility Intelligence Engine analyzes the full "volatility DNA" of a security, including its term structure and vertical skew. This offers a multidimensional view of market expectations, fear, and greed that was previously inaccessible to anyone outside top Wall Street institutions.

The engine's core innovation lies in its ability to provide crucial historical context. It doesn't just report the current volatility; it reveals whether that level is statistically significant. The system is so powerful that it generates more than 8,000 unique, actionable metrics for every stock symbol on the platform.

"Knowing a stock's IV is like knowing the temperature is 95 degrees. It's useful, but incomplete," said Shishu Bedi, CEO of Option Circle. "Our new analytics tell you it's the hottest day in the past five years. One is data; the other is a powerful insight that drives better decisions. We are bringing that crucial context to the masses."

The Volatility Intelligence Engine systematically calculates and tracks thousands of unique data points, including:

• Volatility Surface Analysis: By modeling the entire skew curve, the engine measures the relative demand for puts versus calls, offering a precise gauge of market sentiment.
• Term Structure Insights: Traders can compare volatility levels across different expirations to understand market expectations for future events like earnings or economic reports.
• Historical Contextualization: For every metric, the engine calculates its historical rank (is it cheap or expensive?), slope (is it expanding or contracting?), and z-score (is it a statistical anomaly?).

"We are democratizing the tools of the top 1%. For too long, this level of analysis has been a closely guarded secret of the most sophisticated hedge funds," said Bedi. "Our platform now brings that power to our customers, allowing them to instantly decide if the current market environment is normal or a rare, actionable opportunity. This is a fundamental shift in what's possible for the individual options trader."

This powerful toolkit empowers traders to develop and backtest highly specific strategies. A strategist can now instantly screen for stocks where the market is pricing in historically high levels of fear to identify potential premium-selling opportunities or find assets where long-term volatility is unusually cheap compared to the front month.

The Volatility Intelligence Engine is now available to Option Circle customers.
