Current CHGX snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $31.13, ATM IV 41.50%, IV rank 2.90%, expected move 11.90%. The iron condor on CHGX below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on CHGX specifically: CHGX IV at 41.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CHGX iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.90% (roughly $3.70 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CHGX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CHGX should anchor to the underlying notional of $31.13 per share and to the trader's directional view on CHGX etf.
CHGX iron condor setup
The CHGX 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 CHGX near $31.13, the first option leg uses a $32.69 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CHGX chain at a 34-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 CHGX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CHGX thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CHGX extends from approximately $27.43 on the downside to $34.83 on the upside. A CHGX iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CHGX 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 CHGX IV rank near 2.90% 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 CHGX at 41.50%. As a Financial Services name, CHGX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CHGX-specific events.
CHGX 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. CHGX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CHGX alongside the broader basket even when CHGX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CHGX carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CHGX earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CHGX chain quotes before placing a trade.
