I remember only changing 2 or so details for the low_IV configuration, please provide a moment as I search for the file to share the exact configuration with you. It's been awhile since I've deployed this strategy, so apologies for the delay. Thanks!

Hi, I would like to check again, if you could share details on low_IV preset change. Also one more question on options-quant, I am exploring mibian python library for options pricing. any thought on Mibian? is there any reason why you options-quant over other pricing source /mibian? Thanks for sharing and appreciate all your response..

Hi!

I just gave a look through Mibian's source code and it seems pretty cool! It seems to only have 2 models however (european options only), so it doesn't have much use beyond very basic things for learning purposes. With Options-Quant there's a few hundred different models, so it actually gives the ability to make breakthroughs in trading.

And I'm sorry, but I cannot remember how I configured the Low IV screen for OpenBB. My recommendation is to use the ThinkOrSwim screener as an alternative, and for the configuration, scan for all options with implied volatility's less than the historical average. https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/howToTos/thinkManual/Scan
