Price range. For each name we pull ~14 months of daily closes and compute the standard deviation of the last 20 daily log returns — call it σ (a 1-day realized vol). The headline band is close × e^(±1σ). That is the classic options expected move: absent news, price holds inside it about 68% of sessions. The wider bar spans ±2σ (~95%).
Vol source (RV / IV). The Vol toggle rebuilds the band from either realized vol (what the stock has actually done — the default) or implied vol, using IV₃₀ ÷ √252 as the 1-session sigma. IV mode is the market's expected move — it's what options are pricing, and it widens ahead of earnings when realized vol can't see the event yet. Names without an IV quote fall back to their realized-vol band (noted under the bar).
Trend tier comes from the 15 / 50 / 200-day SMA stack — STRONG BULLISH when price > 15 > 50 > 200, down to BEARISH when price is below the 50 and 200. Grey SMA ticks on the bar show where those averages sit relative to today's range.
Reading it for options. In an uptrend, the −1σ buy edge is where dips tend to get bought; the +1σ sell edge is where strength tends to fade. A wider band = richer realized vol = pricier options / wider break-evens. Turn on ⚡ Intraday to drop a live-price marker (amber ▲) onto each band and see how far today's tape is stretched versus the close-anchored range.
Caveats. This uses realized vol, not implied — around earnings, IV (and the real expected move) will be wider than this shows. Ranges rebuild on every new close. Educational tool, not a signal service.
close × e^(−kσ). The mean-reversion buy level; in an uptrend, dips toward here tend to get bought. k follows the Band toggle (1σ / 1.5σ / 2σ).close × e^(+kσ). The mean-reversion sell level; strength toward here tends to fade.
