What this one covers
- Calculate the market's expected stock move from ATM straddle pricing
The same thing, in writing
The implied move tells you how much the market expects a stock to move by a given expiration. To calculate it, take the ATM straddle price (call + put at the nearest strike to the stock price) — that's roughly the expected move in dollar terms. Divide by the stock price to get the percentage move. This is essential for earnings trades and for sizing positions relative to the market's expectations.
