Futures roll & expiration
ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, YM, MYM, RTY, M2K. Expiration: third Friday of March, June, September and December. Roll date: the Monday before expiration (CME's roll calendar), when volume usually shifts to the next contract. Verify against CME before trading.
Calculators
Rule of thumb: VIX ÷ 15.9 (the square root of 252 trading days) ≈ the market's implied one-standard-deviation daily move in %. It is an estimate from option prices, not a forecast.
Textbook estimate from implied vol. Real markets have fatter tails than this.
You type the numbers; nothing comes from a data feed. Contract specs from the exchange's contract specifications; verify before trading.
Education and information only. Not investment advice and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything. Results are estimates from the inputs you enter. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
