Using the Expected Move

The current Expected Move can serve as a useful gut-check for your next move.

In the example above, the bearish expected move line indicates that prevailing option prices anticipate that the stock will remain above the break-even price, implying a reduced likelihood of max loss low (but of course still possible).
