CSX expected move by expiration
Expected move = price x at-the-money IV x the square root of (days to expiration / 365), a one standard deviation range. The straddle is the at-the-money call plus put, the market's own price for a move. Compare expected moves across stocks.
| Expiration | IV | Expected move | 1 SD range | Straddle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 20, 20267 days | 26.5% | ±$1.91 (3.7%) | $50.14 to $53.96 | $1.53 |
| Dec 11, 202628 days | 26.5% | ±$3.82 (7.3%) | $48.23 to $55.87 | $3.05 |
| Jan 15, 202763 days | 24.2% | ±$5.23 (10.1%) | $46.82 to $57.28 | $4.18 |
| Feb 19, 202798 days | 27.5% | ±$7.41 (14.2%) | $44.64 to $59.46 | $5.90 |
Each expiration has its own implied volatility, and short-dated IV reacts more to near-term events, so the nearest expiration can differ a lot from the 30-day figure.
