The day's movement budget

The VIX translated into expected movement points for today, calibrated against what actually happened over hundreds of sessions. Statistical support for thinking about the size of the day — never a promise or a buy/sell signal.

Daily range band The VIX translated into instrument points, calibrated against what actually happened — never the raw promise of theory.
Typical range How much the price typically travels within the band, not just where it tends to close.
Measured coverage How often that band actually contained the close across hundreds of sessions — and when it didn't.
Implied vs. realized Whether the market is pricing in more or less movement than there was in the last few sessions.
Overnight / session split How much of a day's typical movement happens in the opening gap, and how much during the session.
Statistical support Never a hard line or a signal — the market doesn't know this band exists.

Everything here is statistics on each instrument's past behavior: it isn't advice or signals, and it doesn't say what to trade or when.
