Volatility Desk was described earlier as a future /app/volatility-desk workspace. That route does not exist in the shipped product. Instead, cross-sectional volatility is part of Rank Symbols at /app/rank/symbols, alongside flow discovery and the Option Chain Analysis feature set.

Legacy URLs that used ?mode=vol, volRank, or volDrawerTab should resolve into the current Rank Symbols URL state. You stay in Rank—you do not switch to a second product URL.

There is no separate /app/volatility-desk UI. The images below represent the current Option Chain Analysis feature set inside Rank Symbols, where IV rank / percentile columns and the Vol drawer tab ship today.

What ships today

• One Symbols surface — Flow-ranked symbol rows can include IV 30D, 1y IV rank, and 1y IV percentile when those fields are populated.
• Vol context — Use Rank Symbols columns, filters, and the Vol drawer tab for “where is vol rich or cheap?” workflows.
• Symbol inspection drawer — Vol context sits next to Overview, Flow, Positioning, GEX, and Chain tabs for the same selected symbol.

Legacy “planned” rank modes vs URL behavior

Older marketing tables listed modes like IV-HV spread, term slope, 25-delta skew, and earnings-style ranks as future desk modes. They are not advertised here as first-class selectable modes unless the current UI exposes them. Rely on the in-app sort and drawer controls for what is actually selectable.

Why one surface matters

Screener-first vol discovery runs next to GEX, OI positioning, chain context, and flow metrics so you can answer “where is IV rich or cheap?” and “how are dealers positioned?” without changing routes. That matches the domain invariant: no separate Volatility Desk nav entry; discovery is part of Rank Symbols, not a parallel app.

Related workflows

• Option Chain Analysis — /app/rank/symbols; GEX, Vol, Positioning, and Chain tabs in the symbol drawer.
• Gamma Exposure Screener (legacy name) — how the old GEX-only naming maps to the same route.
• Symbol-level analysis — flow-ranked symbols on /app/rank/symbols.
• Option Trades — /app/option-trades for trade-level follow-up.

此前对外介绍的 Volatility Desk 曾规划为未来的 /app/volatility-desk。该路径在当前产品中不存在。截面波动率能力现作为 Rank Symbols（/app/rank/symbols）的一部分，与流量发现及 Option Chain Analysis 能力集合并列。

旧链接中的 ?mode=vol、volRank、volDrawerTab 等参数应归一到当前 Rank Symbols URL 状态。用户始终停留在 Rank，而非第二个独立产品 URL。

不存在独立的 /app/volatility-desk 界面。下列截图代表当前 期权链分析 能力集合在 Rank Symbols 中的呈现；IV rank / IV percentile 等截面列与 Vol 抽屉标签在这里交付。

当前已交付能力

• 同一个 Symbols 表面 — 流量排名标的行可在数据填充时展示 IV 30D、1 年 IV rank、1 年 IV percentile 等字段。
• 波动率语境 — 使用 Rank Symbols 列、筛选与 Vol 抽屉标签处理「IV 相对历史偏贵还是偏便宜」的工作流。
• 标的检视抽屉 — Vol 语境与 Overview、Flow、Positioning、GEX、Chain 标签并列，作用于同一选中标的。

旧「计划中的排名模式」与 URL 行为

早期宣传材料中的 IV-HV 利差、期限斜率、25Delta 偏斜、财报相关排序等，本文不将其列为可与 UI 一一对应的可选模式，除非当前应用内明确暴露。请以应用内排序与抽屉控件为准。

为何坚持单一发现面

将波动率发现与 GEX、OI 持仓、期权链语境及流量指标放在同一表面，便于同时回答「IV 相对自身历史偏贵还是偏便宜」与「做市商 Gamma 站位如何」，而无需切换路由。这与域不变量一致：没有单独的 Volatility Desk 导航入口；发现方式属于 Rank Symbols，而非平行应用。

相关工作流

• 期权链分析 — /app/rank/symbols；标的抽屉中的 GEX、Vol、Positioning 与 Chain 标签。
• Gamma 敞口扫描仪（历史名称） — 旧 GEX 单独命名如何映射到同一路由。
• 标的级分析（Symbol-level） — /app/rank/symbols 上的流量排名。
• 期权交易 — /app/option-trades 上的逐笔证据跟进。

后续管道与抽屉能力请关注路线图与更新日志；深链应指向 /app/rank/symbols，而非 /app/volatility-desk。
