What is the difference between CVE's IV rank and IV percentile?

IV rank (currently 37) measures where today's implied volatility sits between its 52-week low and high. IV percentile (currently 36%) counts the share of trading days in the past year with lower implied volatility than today. Percentile is less distorted by one-off volatility spikes.

Methodology. IV rank compares the current 30-day at-the-money implied volatility with its highest and lowest values over the past 52 weeks. Max pain is the strike that minimizes the total payout to option holders at expiration. The call and put walls are the strikes carrying the largest call and put open interest across all expirations. Net gamma exposure (GEX) is measured from the dealer perspective. All statistics are derived from delayed OPRA options data.
