Volatility Analysis
- GMBL is realising 330.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. There is not enough history behind a 21-day window to rank that against its past — shorten the volatility window or widen the lookback for a percentile worth reading.
- Volatility has risen from 302.5% to 330.3% over the past month (+9% relative), so the near-term trend in risk is against short-volatility positioning.
- Close-to-close vol (330.3%) runs well above the Parkinson range estimate (158.7%). Because Parkinson only sees the intraday high/low, that gap is overnight jump risk — the move happens between the closing bell and the next open.
- 90% of total variance is delivered overnight (502.1% annualised) against 167.2% during the session — this is a gap-risk name, and an intraday stop will not protect the position.
- On the empirical distribution, a 1-day 95% VaR is -39.31% with an expected shortfall beyond it of -72.80%. Excess kurtosis of 10.7 and 2.22% of days beyond 3σ (a normal distribution would give 0.27%) mean option-pricing models that assume normality will understate the tail.
- Downside volatility (807.7%) exceeds upside volatility (330.7%): declines are faster than the advances, which is what a protective put is actually paying for.
- Worst peak-to-trough drawdown over the window was -80.3% (trough 2026-07-28), with an Ulcer Index of 72.45 capturing how long it stayed underwater.

“How does NVDA usually trade through earnings?”
It calls
→ ka.options_expected_move(NVDA)
It answers
NVDA has averaged a 9.2% absolute move on the day after earnings and closed higher 67% of the time. Two in three reactions land between −4.2% and +16.3% — the distribution is skewed right, not symmetric.
