Alan!

It looks like ODDS is using the square root of time rule, i.e. multiplying
the relevant daily percentage standard deviation (calculated based on daily
natural-log changes) with the square root of days into the future from the
end point of the data sample. Then taking the outcome and subtracting and
adding to the value at the end point of the data sample.
