VolatilitySmileChart

Read a market, a risk or a return, with the axis and the tooltip wired for the job.

@luc/ui/charts

What it shows

Show implied volatility by strike for one or more expiries, making the smile or skew visible.

Live preview

Strike on a numeric axis, one curve per expiry. Volatility is declared with its own percent suffix.

<VolatilitySmileChart
  slices={[
    {
      expiry: "1M",
      points: [
        { strike: 90, impliedVol: 24.1 },
        { strike: 95, impliedVol: 20.4 },
        { strike: 100, impliedVol: 18.6 },
        { strike: 105, impliedVol: 19.2 },

Controls

Height

340px

A chart measures its container, so it always needs a definite height.

State

The surface the chart is in — loading, empty and error are drawn by the component.

Accessible name

A drawing is not readable by a screen reader, so it needs a name that states what it shows.

The same fixture as the live preview above; the controls change how it is drawn, not what it measures.

Code

import { VolatilitySmileChart } from "@luc/ui/charts";

<VolatilitySmileChart
  slices={[
    {
      expiry: "1M",
      points: [
        { strike: 90, impliedVol: 24.1 },
        { strike: 95, impliedVol: 20.4 },
        { strike: 100, impliedVol: 18.6 },
        { strike: 105, impliedVol: 19.2 },
        { strike: 110, impliedVol: 21.8 },
      ],
    },
    {
      expiry: "3M",
      points: [
        { strike: 90, impliedVol: 22.4 },
        { strike: 95, impliedVol: 19.6 },
        { strike: 100, impliedVol: 18.1 },
        { strike: 105, impliedVol: 18.9 },
        { strike: 110, impliedVol: 20.7 },
      ],
    },
  ]}
  strikeFormat={{ kind: "number", decimals: 0 }}
  volFormat={{ kind: "number", decimals: 1, suffix: "%" }}
  height={340}
  ariaLabel="Volatility by strike"
  state="ready"

Copy for an AI agentA specification an agent can act on: the import, the setup, the chosen props, the data contract and the accessibility expectation.

Implement `VolatilitySmileChart` from Luc UI. It is: Read a market, a risk or a return, with the axis and the tooltip wired for the job.

Import it with: import { VolatilitySmileChart } from "@luc/ui/charts";
Requires: react ^19.0.0; react-dom ^19.0.0; react-hook-form ^7.0.0 (optional, for @luc/ui/forms/react-hook-form); tailwindcss ^4.0.0; node >= 22 (repository tools). Import the stylesheet once at the app root and wrap the tree in `LucProvider`. Both come from the package that publishes @luc.

Chosen configuration: `height={340}`, `state="ready"`, `ariaLabel="Volatility by strike"`.

Accessibility: keep the component's own semantics. Do not re-implement its ARIA wiring, do not add roles it does not declare, and make sure every interactive element is reachable and operable from the keyboard with a visible focus state.
Styling: use Luc UI design tokens and the component's own props. Do not restyle with raw colour literals and do not override the component's internal structure with page CSS.
Motion: respect `prefers-reduced-motion`. The component already does, so do not disable it.

Reproduce this state:
```tsx
<VolatilitySmileChart
  slices={[
    {
      expiry: "1M",
      points: [
        { strike: 90, impliedVol: 24.1 },
        { strike: 95, impliedVol: 20.4 },
        { strike: 100, impliedVol: 18.6 },
        { strike: 105, impliedVol: 19.2 },
        { strike: 110, impliedVol: 21.8 },
      ],
    },
    {
      expiry: "3M",
      points: [
        { strike: 90, impliedVol: 22.4 },
        { strike: 95, impliedVol: 19.6 },
        { strike: 100, impliedVol: 18.1 },
        { strike: 105, impliedVol: 18.9 },
        { strike: 110, impliedVol: 20.7 },
      ],
    },
  ]}
  strikeFormat={{ kind: "number", decimals: 0 }}
  volFormat={{ kind: "number", decimals: 1, suffix: "%" }}
  height={340}
  ariaLabel="Volatility by strike"
  state="ready"
/>
```

Usage

The values are prepared by the caller: this component draws the points it is given and computes no statistic of its own, so units, scaling and any summary have to be settled before the data reaches it.

It is drawn by the ECharts engine.

Worked examples with real data are on the family overview: Financial & quantitative

import { VolatilitySmileChart } from "@luc/ui/charts";

<VolatilitySmileChart
  slices={[
    {
      expiry: "1M",
      points: [
        { strike: 90, impliedVol: 24.1 },
        { strike: 95, impliedVol: 20.4 },
        { strike: 100, impliedVol: 18.6 },
        { strike: 105, impliedVol: 19.2 },
        { strike: 110, impliedVol: 21.8 },
      ],
    },
    {
      expiry: "3M",
      points: [
        { strike: 90, impliedVol: 22.4 },
        { strike: 95, impliedVol: 19.6 },
        { strike: 100, impliedVol: 18.1 },
        { strike: 105, impliedVol: 18.9 },
        { strike: 110, impliedVol: 20.7 },
      ],
    },
  ]}
  strikeFormat={{ kind: "number", decimals: 0 }}
  volFormat={{ kind: "number", decimals: 1, suffix: "%" }}
  height={340}
  ariaLabel="Volatility by strike"
/>

Data contract

`slices` each contain an `expiry` and `points` of `{ strike, impliedVol }`. Volatility is a supplied value already in the displayed unit, not a price or a computed model parameter.

Important configuration

Use `strikeFormat` for the strike axis, `volFormat` for the percent or decimal convention, and keep expiries ordered and labelled.

Guidelines

When not to use

Do not feed option prices in place of implied volatility or interpolate a smooth surface without showing the observed strikes.
