AVLV snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $95.03, ATM IV 18.60%, IV rank 1.56%, expected move 5.33%. The iron condor on AVLV below is built from the August 14, 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 iron condor structure on AVLV specifically: AVLV IV at 18.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling AVLV iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.33% (roughly $5.07 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AVLV expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AVLV should anchor to the underlying notional of $95.03 per share and to the trader's directional view on AVLV etf.

AVLV iron condor setup

The AVLV iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AVLV at $95.03 on that close, the first option leg uses a $100.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AVLV 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 AVLV shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AVLV thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AVLV extends from approximately $89.96 on the downside to $100.10 on the upside. A AVLV iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when AVLV stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current AVLV IV rank near 1.56% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on AVLV at 18.60%. As a Financial Services name, AVLV options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AVLV-specific events.

AVLV iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; 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. AVLV positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AVLV alongside the broader basket even when AVLV-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on AVLV carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AVLV earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AVLV chain quotes before placing a trade.
