Wednesday's Agenda

All six prospects remain below the 60th percentile in implied volatility, failing to qualify for a full analysis.

COST is closest to having sufficiently high IV, calculated as a percentile of its most recent range. My minimum requirement is the 60th percentile or higher.

A table of the prospects and their implied volatility percentiles. Note that four have IV percentiles in negative territory, meaning that volatility has dropped below the beginning of the most recent rise.

COST51
APA-8
BABA3
DD-8
NFLX-25
NXPI-33

COST's implied volatility now stands at 23.91%. It would qualify for analysis if it were to reach 25.02%. I shall check it during the day and do an analysis if it reaches that level. I am striking the other symbols from the prospects list. They have no realistic chance of attaining the 60th percentile.
