Frequently asked questions

What is the expected move?
The one-standard-deviation price range the options market implies for a stock by a given expiration: the at-the-money straddle price, or price × implied volatility × √(days/365). The stock finishes inside it about 68% of the time.
How do traders use it?
To size premium-selling structures (strikes outside the move), to judge whether an earnings play is cheap or rich against the typical move, and to set realistic targets for directional trades.
Where do the numbers come from?
The live option chain for each ticker, the eight nearest expirations, refreshed every 15 minutes. Nothing is estimated: when a straddle has no quote the IV sigma is used, and when neither exists the row is omitted.
