2. Mind the Greeks

Users can find Delta, Gamma, and Vega in the Volume & Open Interest page. To view them, click the Options tab, choose an expiry (e.g., 2Y Aug 2026 – YITQ6), select a strike price (e.g., 98.125), and the Greeks will display. 


3. Compare with Swaptions

On the same VOI page, users can view volatilities and the equivalent swaption strike rate for each strike price, enabling straightforward comparison with OTC swaptions. We even translate between lognormal price volatility and normal rate volatility (also known as “BP Vol”).
