===== Core Indicators =====
=== 1. Implied Volatility (IV) ===
<code>
**Purpose:** Measures expected price movement (options pricing)  
**Best For:** Selling premium when high  
**Key Thresholds:**
  * IV Rank >50% → Good for selling
  * IV Percentile >70% → Overpriced
</code>

=== 2. Volume Profile + VWAP ===
<code>
**Purpose:** Identifies liquidity levels  
**Usage:** 
  * POC (Point of Control) = Strong S/R
