    Thinkorswim fit predicted price range
    Thinkorswim provides a feature to display the expected price of the underlying stock given a specific option contract price. This feature is often overlooked but can be accessed through the platform’s chart settings.

    Here are the key points:

    The expected price is calculated using the option’s strike price and extrinsic value (premium).
    This feature is available on the active trader platform, specifically in the options chain, top-right corner, marked as “+/- #”, which represents the predicted price action of the underlying at expiration.
    This predicted price is not a prediction of future price movement, but rather a theoretical estimate of how much the security’s price could realistically move in a day in response to external factors.
    Example: In the options chain, if an option contract has a strike price of $50 and an extrinsic value of $5, the predicted price would be $55 (strike + extrinsic value).

    Note: This feature is not the same as the Expected Price Range (EPR) mentioned in the Risk-Based Concentration (RBC) Margin System, which is a broader calculation of potential price movement.
