Implied Deviation Level Formula?


#1

Hello team, i know that the deviation levels are free but im super curious on the actual formula that they talk about on how the IV is extracted from 3 months of trading and which options these would include. The Standard dev formula is relatively easy but this implied seems like a whole new level, just wondering on the formula to generate these levels. Where/How does the IV come from and how is it averaged together / beta weighted and would you use an options chain to find it, or are they pulled from certain websites; what dates do you look at? Thank you!
