ACIO iron condor setup

The ACIO iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ACIO near $46.20, the first option leg uses a $49.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets.
