thank you for posting that.
but it seems overly complicated

try to apply this
http://www.nishatrades.com/blog/mat...ected-move-using-a-probability-analysis-chart
Thanks - expected move calculation. Problem with expected move is that it uses IV ( as we know means option pricing ). Stocks without options or thinly traded options have no IVs / suspect IV's. This example is for a 1 std dev move ( not outwardly stated ). SD factor should be included in EM calcuation.

i made my version of a cone, just to be able to draw a sidways parabola.
i don't care about standard deviations or bell curves.
sometimes i like to figure out how to do something, then save it away and maybe a future project will have a need for it.
maybe it will be a strarting point for someone elses project.

one day i came across the cone study and saw that it was hidden.
ProbabilityOfExpiringCone

so i looked for formulas that might be able to draw a sideways parabola, and found this.
http://www.nishatrades.com/blog/mat...ected-move-using-a-probability-analysis-chart
expected move = price * iv * ( sqrt( days to expire / 365))

this finds a value for a future date.
is this a stistically valid value? i don't know.

i guess you are after something that finds a date for a specific future value ( 68% ?)
maybe this could be altered?

i used imp_volatility() to read a value for the stock , and used it in the formula.
maybe that isn't valid? but this IV has values that change as price moves around.

load the below code and take a look

Code:
declare lower;
plot iv2 = imp_volatility();


this draws a sideways parabola, from the last bar, into the future.
a date is entered and future values are calculated.
are they accurate? i don't know. do they mean anything? i don't know.

this is cleaned up a little, but it's still sloppy

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/iv.asp#:~:text=Implied volatility is the market's,factors for calculating implied volatility.
Thanks.

The reason I prefer historical volatility is because there is no option pricing included in the calculation. Implied volatility (IV) uses options data.

In any event, these are just targets so I am getting that worn down feeling and may go with your IV plot.


Much appreciated.
