▶ Opportunity Score — How It Works Score = Excess Upside × Cap Prob × Buffer Mult A≥3 B≥1.5 C≥0.5 D≥0 F<0 N/A
① Excess Upside
Remaining Cap minus any current index drawdown and the risk-free rate (~4.25% ann.).
If negative, the ETF can't beat cash even at the cap.
Uncapped: index must also clear the Outcome Period Threshold before gains begin.
② Cap Probability
Probability the index delivers the required move in the days remaining.
Uses per-index daily volatility (SPY 1.0%/day, QQQ 1.3%/day).
Short-dated ETFs are penalised automatically — no cliffs.
QBUF: QQQ needed +6% in 25 days → 24%. SIXJ: SPY +8.4% in 116 days → 36%.
③ Buffer Multiplier
Rewards bigger, engaged buffers. Scale: 0% → 1.0×, 30% (Ultra) → 2.0×.
A buffer already engaged scores higher than one with a DBB gap still to close.
N/A = Dual Direction or Accelerated ETFs (separate model, coming soon).
🎯 Near Entry — Good Risk/Reward Setup 58
ETFs trading within optimal entry range. Full outcome period ahead — full upside available.
