⚠ The score filter above controls which ETFs are visible across all sections. Tap a score level to adjust, or “Show All” to see everything.

The Opportunity Score is a proprietary mathematical model designed to provide a uniform quantitative comparison of Defined Outcome ETFs with varying parameters. The scale is 0–10; a higher score identifies a mathematically favorable profile based on modeled outcomes at expiration.

Methodology

The score is computed from three independently derived components:

1. Excess Upside

Remaining annualized cap yield minus the risk-free rate (current T-Bill yield). Measures how much potential return exceeds a zero-risk alternative if held to expiration.

2. Cap Probability

Statistical estimate of the likelihood the index will reach the cap level by expiration. Derived from implied volatility and time remaining using a log-normal distribution model.

3. Buffer Quality

Evaluates how much downside protection remains intact relative to the original buffer level. A fully intact buffer contributes more favorably to the composite score.

These three components are combined into a weighted composite normalized to a 0–10 scale. The score applies only to standard buffered entry sections (Near Original Entry, Ultra Buffer, 100% Protection). Acceleration Zone, Dual Direction, and Near Cap sections are exempt because their payoff mechanics differ materially from standard capped-buffer structures.

Important Disclosure

All mathematical observations presented in this report are based on modeled outcomes at expiration using current market data. They are hypothetical, do not reflect actual trading results, and are not predictive of future performance. The model does not account for intra-period price volatility, secondary market liquidity, bid-ask spreads, or early exit scenarios. Different models, assumptions, or time horizons may produce materially different results. This score is provided for informational comparison purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

How to Use This Report

Start With the Score Filter

The Opportunity Score key at the top controls which ETFs are visible. A higher minimum (like ≥7) surfaces the most mathematically favorable profiles based on modeled outcomes at expiration. Tap "Show All" to clear the filter and see everything. The score is a composite of three components — excess upside vs. T-Bills, cap probability, and buffer quality — and applies only to standard buffered sections. Acceleration, Dual Direction, and Near Cap sections are exempt. All scores are model-based and not predictive of future results.

Intelligence Dashboard

The collapsible dashboard at the top provides a quick snapshot of the most important intelligence. Click the Intelligence Dashboard bar to expand or collapse it.

Asymmetry Ratio — A proprietary indicator that measures how much upside vs. downside a fund offers on a standardized ±10% index move from today. A ratio of 5x means the fund gains 5x more than it loses. Higher is better. Funds with fewer than 30 days remaining or non-standard structures are excluded.

Upcoming Resets — ETFs resetting within the next 8 days. At reset the fund starts a new outcome period with a fresh cap and buffer — an important decision point for holders.

Top Cap Yield — The 10 ETFs with the highest annualized remaining cap. Cap Yield normalizes different time horizons so you can compare a fund with 60 days left to one with 300 days left on equal footing. Grade reflects overall attractiveness.

Implied Volatility Chart — A 1-year history of VIX (S&P 500), VXN (Nasdaq), and RVX (Russell 2000) implied volatility. Higher IV means higher reset caps ahead — useful context for timing new positions.

Expand Sections That Interest You

Each section is collapsed by default. Click the section header to expand it and see the ETFs inside. Near Cap sections start open since they are time-sensitive alerts.

Sort to Find What Matters

Click any column header on desktop to sort that section. On mobile, use the sort bar below each table. Try sorting by Cap Yield to find the best annualized return potential, or by Days to see what resets soonest.

Use Filters to Narrow Down

The provider, period, and status chips at the top let you isolate specific fund families, time horizons, or signal types. The ticker search box lets you jump straight to a specific ETF.

View Details & Payoff Curves

Click "View" on any ETF to open a side panel with the full payoff curve, key metrics, and position visualization. This shows you exactly where the ETF sits within its outcome period.

Toggle Data Lite Mode

The Data Heavy / Data Lite toggle at the top right simplifies the view by hiding less critical columns. Useful for a quick scan on mobile.

Section Guide

Near Original Entry — Best entry points: ETFs trading closest to their starting price with maximum cap and buffer intact.

Acceleration Zone — Leveraged ETFs (2x/3x) with multiplied upside. Position relative to the trigger threshold is key.

Approaching Cap — ETFs nearing their maximum return. Upside is limited; useful for deciding whether to hold or roll.

Dual Direction — ETFs that participate in both up and down index moves. Score does not apply; symmetry analysis matters instead.

Glossary of Terms

Remaining Cap (Rem. Cap)

The maximum upside return still available before the fund hits its ceiling for the period. Higher = more room to grow.

Remaining Buffer (Rem. Buf)

~15% current level of downside protection by the end of the outcome period.

Days

Calendar days left until the outcome period resets. At reset, the fund starts a new cap and buffer cycle.

DBB (Downside Before Buffer)

The amount of fund loss before the buffer starts.

Cap Yield (Cap Yld)

The remaining cap expressed as an annualized return. Lets you compare ETFs with different time horizons on equal footing.

Probability (Prob.)

Model-estimated likelihood that the index will reach the cap level by expiration. Based on current implied volatility and time remaining.

Opportunity Score

A 0–10 composite derived from three modeled components: (1) Excess Upside vs. T-Bills, (2) Probability of reaching cap at expiration, and (3) Buffer quality. All observations are based on modeled outcomes at expiration and are not predictive of future results. Does not apply to Acceleration, Dual Direction, or Near Cap sections.

Target Range

The fund is trading closest to its starting price minus the fund fee — the ideal entry zone where you get the most cap and the most buffer.

Extended Range

Still near the starting price but slightly outside the tightest zone. Cap and buffer are still largely intact.

Near Cap

The fund is at or near its maximum return for the period. Little upside remains, but downside risk is still present.

Acceleration Zone

Leveraged ETFs (2x or 3x) that multiply index gains above a threshold. Position matters — being near the start or threshold changes the risk/reward.

% Cap Used / % Buffer Used

How much of the original cap or buffer has already been consumed by index movement since the period started.
