What is a butterfly on ARMH?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
ARMH snapshot
As of November 13, 2026, spot at $8.23. The butterfly on ARMH below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on ARMH specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for ARMH is inferred from ATM IV alone. The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ARMH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ARMH should anchor to the underlying notional of $8.23 per share and to the trader's directional view on ARMH etf.
ARMH butterfly setup
The ARMH butterfly below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ARMH at $8.23 on that close, the first option leg uses a $8.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ARMH chain at a 35-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 ARMH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $8.00 | $1.21 |
| Sell 2 | Call | $8.00 | $1.21 |

ARMH thesis for this butterfly
A ARMH long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if ARMH settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, ARMH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ARMH-specific events.
ARMH butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. ARMH positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ARMH alongside the broader basket even when ARMH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ARMH chain quotes before placing a trade.
