1. Ecuación Matemática e Identidad de Valoración

T_intraday = Minutes remaining ÷ (252 × 390)

Expected move (1σ) = Spot × σ_annual × √T_intraday

1σ range = Spot ± Expected move

2. Cómo Utilizar la Calculadora y Parámetros de Entrada

Enter the underlying spot price, the ATM 0DTE implied volatility and the number of regular-session trading minutes remaining until the 4:00 PM close (390 minutes for a full US equity session).

Inspect the 1σ and 2σ upper and lower boundaries and the horizon sensitivity table across the trading day.

3. Supuestos Prudenciales y Límites del Modelo

Scales annualised volatility over 252 trading days of 390 minutes each (98,280 trading minutes per year).
Assumes log-normal intraday diffusion without jump risk around macro releases.

4. Preguntas Frecuentes y Notas Cuantitativas (FAQ)

Why use trading minutes instead of calendar hours for 0DTE?

Intraday variance accrues primarily while the cash market is open. Dividing by 252 × 390 trading minutes avoids understating the move during active market hours.

How does the 1σ expected move relate to the ATM straddle?

Under Black–Scholes, an at-the-money straddle costs approximately 0.798 × the 1σ expected move (√(2/π) ≈ 80%).
