Calculate an Option's Implied Volatility using GBS/Bjerksund-Stensland 2002
-
For anyone who needs it, here is an indicator that calculates and charts implied volatility. I used GBS/Bjerksund-Stensland 2002 routines from the incredibly helpful Davis Edwards, author of the book "Risk Management in Trading."
It calculates implied volatility for American options only but could easily be adjusted to support European options. It is currently set to download the underlying price (data0) and the options data (data1) from IB.
In lieu of IB's IV data this allows you to adjust the underlying cost of carry/dividend rate/risk free rate using overnight index swaps or whatever you prefer. Risk free rate for American options should be taken from Overnight Indexed Swaps -- e.g. the Federal Funds rate which is published daily by the Federal Reserve in the US. Overnight rates include EONIA (EUR), SONIA (GBP), CHOIS (CHF), and TONAR (JPY). Recommended to not use LIBOR nor the T-Bill rate.
If it's not working for you, check that your option string uses the IB format: e.g. 'AAPL-20180119-SMART-USD-170-CALL' and that you are not trying to download a weekly that cannot be routed through SMART. Also check your expiry dates at the IB website, as they might be slightly off from what might be expected.
Here is the indicator:

Reposted code -- Fixed errors in the calculation for Puts.
Also found an issue in compatibility with Python 2.7 assigning alpha1 and alpha2. Suggest using numpy.power instead of ** to convert error to warning in line 259 and 260.
