Hi!

Options levels are catching price by some reasons.
These levels can be drawn on a chart manually or automatically.

Does anyone use it?
And have some history from CME bulletin for these levels?

With best regards

Other than the implied move to get a rough indication of the day, I don't.

I used them in the past but for me personally intraday S/R is more reliable.

I usually just use my platforms Expected Move number.

However, you can buy the ATM straddle, and the next strike ITM stangle and divide by two to get an estimate. Thus works on ES and SPX every MWF.
