Why Traders Use This
The options market prices the expected move throughout the session. Plotting those bands on the chart frames the range already being priced, so you can see whether price is still inside the expected move, testing the inner band, or stretching toward the outer expected-move band.
How traders use it: treat the bands as a likely range rather than a target list, watch acceptance versus rejection when price reaches a band, and size down when the expected move is compressed before events.
Today’s ES and NQ expected move is in the daily RTH Market Prep. The framework is covered in How to Trade Expected Moves, and related level tools live on the Key Levels hub.
