- implied_volatility(price, S, K, t, r, q, flag)[source]¶
Calculate the Black-Scholes-Merton implied volatility.
- Parameters:
S (float) – underlying asset price
K (float) – strike price
sigma (float) – annualized standard deviation, or volatility
t (float) – time to expiration in years
r (float) – risk-free interest rate
q (float) – annualized continuous dividend rate
flag (str) – ‘c’ or ‘p’ for call or put.
>>> S = 100 >>> K = 100 >>> sigma = .2 >>> r = .01 >>> flag = 'c' >>> t = .5 >>> q = 0
>>> price = black_scholes_merton(flag, S, K, t, r, sigma, q) >>> iv = implied_volatility(price, S, K, t, r, q, flag)
>>> expected_price = 5.87602423383 >>> expected_iv = 0.2
>>> abs(expected_price - price) < 0.00001 True >>> abs(expected_iv - iv) < 0.00001 True
