I do hope someone will comment on the validity of my method.

Re Fair Value;
If I were to write a straddle at todays option prices, the range of profit would extend much much further than the distance between the upper and lower bb's, for the bb's indicate 22 % annual volatility whereas the options imply a 60% annual volatility. To my mind, fair value for option prices implies a short-straddle profit range equal to the width of the bollinger bands.
