V9: Next-Month Contract 9:30 Estimate

v92026-07-03159915.SZ August CallsDTE=54, K=3.6-4.8

Same as v7 but next-month (August) contracts. DTE=54 vs DTE=19. Tests how higher DTE affects 9:30 IV estimate accuracy — lower gamma, less near-expiry uncertainty, more time value.

Changelog:
v7 → Current month (July, DTE=19) v9 → Next month (August, DTE=54), same day, same methodology
Key finding: Next-month (DTE=54) has ~3x less IV drift than current-month (DTE=19): avg -1.6% vs -4.9%. But MAE is similar (0.0097 vs 0.0088) because lower gamma means IV changes move price less. OTM MAPE is dramatically better with next-month: K=4.8 goes from 32.6% → 14.1% error.
