Historical volatility is the annualized standard deviation of an underlying's past returns, typically measured over rolling windows like 10, 20, 30, or 60 days. The XPND 30 day historical volatility is one of the most widely watched readings because it balances responsiveness with stability. Comparing First Trust Expanded Technology ETF's HV to its implied volatility reveals the volatility risk premium — when IV sits well above HV, option sellers tend to have an edge; when HV runs hot relative to IV, buyers may be underpaying for movement.

The First Trust Expanded Technology ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the common stocks of companies identified by the Fund's investment advisor as either information technology companies or financial companies and communication services companies whose operations are principally derived from and/or dependent upon technology (such companies are collectively referred to herein as "Expanded Technology Companies"). While the Fund is actively managed, the investment advisor intends to utilize a quantitative model to help identify Expanded Technology Companies with attractive long-term capital appreciation potential.

Sizing a long premium trade, modeling a covered call, or hunting volatility arbitrage all come back to one question: how much has the stock actually moved? Our scanner puts First Trust Expanded Technology ETF's historical volatility side-by-side with implied readings across every lookback window, so you can see exactly where XPND HV is running hot, cold, or in line. Make the XPND 30 day historical volatility — and every other window — work for your edge instead of against it.
