Translate Index Values To Implied Moves

To convert a 30-day index value to a projected move:

  • Daily: Divide by 16
  • Weekly: Divide by 7.2
  • Monthly: Divide by 3.5

Example: VolDex at 22. Divide 22/16 = 1.375. This forecasts the expected daily move of the underlying instrument to be 1.375% based upon the VolDex value.
