FAQ
How is “expected move” computed from VIX?
VIX is an annualized implied volatility proxy. We convert it to a daily σ and scale by sqrt(time): σ(T) ≈ (VIX / √basis) × √days.
Is this accurate during crashes?
Not perfectly. Real markets have fat tails and gaps. Treat this as a fast volatility translation tool, not a guarantee.
