I'd always wondered how in ThinkOrSwim they came up with the "Expected Move Differential" function which is
available to use as a "Marketwatch" "Quotes" column only. There was just a general description in the TOS reference material.

Then one day I happened to see this video on youtube where the TOS founder explains it in detail on a Tastytrade clip:

Option Trading Math - Calculating [AUTOLINK]Expected Move[/AUTOLINK] and Probability of Success - YouTube


update:

np, BM. Attached .jpg showing the "Expected Move Diff" column in Marketwatch pane to better show what I'm referring to.
