Desk / AMZN
Price at the green and red walls, and at the edge of the gold band. Green/red fill is near-term open interest. Grey outline is next Friday. The row below the chart is implied move, option IV, realized vol, and IV versus the stock.
Above zero at spot, dealer hedging resists. Below, it chases. A flip near spot is the pin.
Front versus back. A downward slope is event vol. The dashed line is leftover vol after the event.
Puts richer than calls is the crash bid. Compare the two expiries. Event-dated smiles steepen.
Puts below spot are a cushion. Calls above are a lid. Max pain near spot on 0–2 DTE is pin risk.
1 contract ($100). OTM is 0–2 DTE at ~1× implied move; profit shown is a 1σ winning move at expiry. Other rows use a later expiry. At-expiry dollars. Select a row to load the calculator. Not a recommendation.
