Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster!

I'm attempting to add a label on the chart that shows the implied volatility% for the at the money option from the options chains for Futures Options. I've scoured the Learning Center on TOS and can't find anything specific for getting and/or adding Implied Vol from the option chains to labels on charts. First off, is this request even possible in thinkscript?

I've created the below AddLabel function, but it doesn't seem to work.

AddLabel(IsOptionable(), "Imp Vol" + GetATMOption(GetUnderlyingSymbol(), imp_volatility, OptionClass.CALL));

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you want imp vol, that will have to be the outer function, that wraps the others
