@Djtux When a calendar to straddle page loads the most current cycle is greyed out and I need to click on it for it to display. I'm not sure if others are seeing this as well but I'm wondering if there is a setting I need to change or if it is something on your end? My settings are default with no cycles excluded.

This is because VIX is high, you can adjust this by going into Settings and changing (or by simply clicking on this cycle in the legend to show it)...

Hello. Is price effect effectively the same as actual earnings move?
 

Price effect Max move Avg Price effect Avg Max move
Price effect: last previous cycle stock close after earning/ stock close before earning Max move: last previous cycle stock high or low after earning/ stock close before earning Price effect: average abs(stock close after earning/ stock close before earning) Max move: average abs(stock high or low after earning/ stock close before earning)

@Djtux  Can you double check your data source for ROKU IV on T-0 which was yesterday (May 1)

I had a long straddle open and was watching IV for the ATM strikes.   I never got above 300 and actually fell down to around 275 as shown in Think or Swim

in VolHQ it shows that straddle IV went up to 530 which is not what I saw in real-time.   I have noticed this a few times and its dangerous because the IV estimates seemed to be always inflated for many stocks.   Thank you.

@Djtux
I have subscribed to your service and find it very good what you have put together.

After struggling through 23 pages of Fromum, I understand most of the current implementations.


I still have two questions

a) when looking at the RV of NKE with the default settings, no Straddle Hedge is calculated or indicated with 0%. next to the current RV dashed line. If I display LULU, for example, this value is calculated. Why not with NKE?

b) is the desktop tool still supported? the download does not work

thanks!

For NKE it’s because we are too close to the expiry for this week due to one of the advanced settings that requires 4 days minimum between today and the expiry.

The desktop app is not supported anymore, it wasn’t great anyway. I believe there were python code that was on the SO forum that was better.

@Djtux  might be user error at my end but I am not seeing any RV values for yesterday (July 7)  ... maybe the holiday weekend threw things off .... here is today's META put calender as an example

@Djtux Is there anyway a user can check what is the source of the earnings date confirmation?
In case of GE, it was showing July 22,2025 BMO as Confirmed Earnings Date in 1 of the sources a few days ago., Now the date changed, don't know when it did change. It would be very useful for the user to know the source of the confirmation, is it from the company's website, or third party etc. Thanks
Adding @krisbee@Yowster, if they have came across such issue earlier.
