The Volatility Server solution is an out-of-the-box volatility ticker-plant that provides access to intraday quotes, fundamental data and derivatives such as implied volatilities, Greeks, our Implied Volatility Index, Implied volatility surface, Historical Vols, dividends, interest rates and other analytical data.

It covers now entire US markets, including equities and options (full OPRA options coverage), and recently added US futures and futures options from CME, NYMEX, COMEX, ICE, CBOT, CFE, and other future exchanges covering all traded futures products: commodities, bonds, interest rates, energy, equity index, FX, metals and others.

With the Volatility Server our customers can access to the most complete set of futures data, in real time, 24 hours/7 days a week.
Equities and equity options intraday data are provided during market hours from 9.30am to 16.15am est; after the close, closing data are available until next day’s opening.

A snapshot module (DB Sync) is included into the package to allow creating snapshots from the market with given frequency and capture data into the client’s local database.

Volatility Server/SDK can be permissioned to a specific list of securities based on client’s need: from a list of favorites securities or specific exchanges to the whole US market (over 5000 US equities with 3300 optionable and 200 US futures with about 100 optionable).

Volatility Server can be enabled in 20 minutes delayed or real-time mode. Real-time mode in Volatility Server/SDK requires signing of exchange agreements and paying exchange fees for the permissioned exchanges.

Volatility Server does not require any additional market feed from a third party data vendor and does not require a complex IT infrastructure. The server receives a datafeed from IVolatility.com’s master ticker-plant, and the local server can be used to re-distribute the data within an organization (in a controlled environment). See below a typical Volatility Server network setup environment.

Volatility Server can support virtually an unlimited number of local clients. The client software is using IVolatility SDK which provides industry standard ActiveX / COM objects model for easy integration into a Visual Basic, Visual C++ or .Net application. The SDK also includes a DDE server so a client can have access to the continuously updating market data within Microsoft Excel (a set of sample applications is provided for a quick start).

Documentation and samples:
