What is the difference between IVIndex and VIX?

Posted by Anastasia on December 08, 2008 at 09:01 AM EST

They say about the difference at http://www.ivolatility.com/news.j?nid=114&x=14&y=7 , guess by meaning they are the same but IVX is an estimate for individual name while VIX is only for S&P 500 index

there seems to be a lot of noise in the data, spikes that i know are not actually there, maybe because the calculator is just using the midpoint of the bid/offers on the atm strikes? it would probably be worthwhile to implement some smoothing algorithms to filter out the bad prints - i have several years of professional options trading and software development experience and would be happy to help out if appropriate

Kevin, thanks for the feedback, yes, we are using midpoint of the ATM strikes. give us example of the spikes please, will double check. thanks
