Volatility Analysis
- LLKKF is realising 209.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions, the elevated end of its range — higher than 78% of readings over the past 1 year.
- Volatility has risen from 179.6% to 209.9% over the past month (+17% relative), so the near-term trend in risk is against short-volatility positioning.
- The Parkinson range estimate (291.5%) exceeds close-to-close vol (209.9%): the stock travels a wide intraday range but keeps closing near where it opened — mean-reverting chop rather than trend.
- 48% of total variance is delivered overnight (273.5% annualised) against 283.3% during the session — risk is mostly intraday and can be managed inside the session.
- On the empirical distribution, a 1-day 95% VaR is -16.90% with an expected shortfall beyond it of -21.18%. Excess kurtosis of 1.3 and 0.95% of days beyond 3σ (a normal distribution would give 0.27%) mean option-pricing models that assume normality will understate the tail.
- Absolute returns are autocorrelated at lag 1 (0.208 vs a 0.191 significance band), confirming volatility clustering — quiet days follow quiet days, so today’s reading carries information about tomorrow’s.
- Worst peak-to-trough drawdown over the window was -35.1% (trough 2026-07-31), with an Ulcer Index of 16.83 capturing how long it stayed underwater.

The AI is not a chatbot bolted onto a document store. It calls the same analytics engine that powers every screen on this platform — so what comes back is a number it computed from raw history, with the command that produced it.
86,000+ instruments
Global equities, ETFs, funds, options, FX, commodities, crypto, economics, filings, transcripts and news — one normalised symbol universe with adjusted history.
A real analytics engine
Screening, backtesting, technicals, options analytics, correlations, seasonality and factor models — computed on demand from raw prices, never a stale cache.
It shows its working
Answers arrive with the charts, tables and tool calls behind them, so you can check the number instead of trusting a paraphrase.
Your own documents
Upload filings, decks and research. Ask across them and the answer cites the page it came from.
Agents and workflows
Multi-step research that runs the platform's tools for you — screen, pull the history, compute, compare, then write it up.
MCP, CLI and API

You ask
“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.
