tickOptionComputation and impliedVolatility


Matthias Frener
 

Hi all.
I'm using?reqMktData with FOP contracts and have capture geeks and IV on the tickOptionComputation.
For most contracts those numbers make sense, however there some where IV is a multiple of what it should be.

Was anyone experienced same? Maybe there is a flag I haven't found yet that tells me?impliedVolatility?

Example:

Do reqMktData condId=398486127, exchange=NYMEX, secType=OPT
This is an option on the Gold Future. the You will get something around 0.20 right now (20%) - works same as for all other kind of options.

Now try reqMktData condId=353753333, exchange=NYMEX, secType=OPT
This is an option on the Crude Oil. the You will get something around 18!! right now (this is an IV of 1800%), no way IV of that Curde Oil is at 1800%?

... what do I miss?

Many thanks!?
