Ken, http:/www.ivolatility.com/ has a screen that has limited user inputs for IV parameters. I use a similar approach for screening for ratio writes. Looking for OTM calls with IV well above the mean for the series. (Done by hand) Regards, Dave

Ken, I don't know of any free sites on the web that provide IV screening, altho there may be some pay sites. Here's one software package that may do what you want and isn't as pricey as some... aiqsystems.com (i have no experience w/ it; just noting that it seems useful, and not nearly as expensive as omega's optionstation :-)

Ken, I have been using www.stocksmartpro.com and quite happy with it. It has an extensive fundamental and technical data on any stock. Its option chain is quite good and has data on IV, last trade, volumes, historical highs and lows, etc... It is a paying site, which costs about $10 a month... quite affordable Thanks for your explanation on the skew. Huan
