Template Description
The Expected Move for the next options expiration is the 1 standard deviation move in stock price based on next expiration options implied volatility.
If a stock has weekly options expirations on a Friday, and this template is run on a Thursday, the report will show the expected move for Friday. This is the most accurate estimate of how the stock will move as it uses current day options pricing for next day stock price movement.
If a stock also has an earnings report on the Friday, the expected move is the most accurate estimate of how the stock will respond to earnings.
The majority of time, stock price ends up inside the Expected Move
