COHX snapshot
As of November 13, 2026, spot at $10.52, ATM IV 173.00%, IV rank 26.67%, expected move 49.60%. The butterfly on COHX 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 COHX specifically: COHX IV at 173.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a COHX butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 49.60% (roughly $5.22 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 COHX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on COHX should anchor to the underlying notional of $10.52 per share and to the trader's directional view on COHX etf.
COHX butterfly setup
The COHX 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 COHX at $10.52 on that close, the first option leg uses a $10.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed COHX 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 COHX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Call | $10.00 | $1.95 |
| Sell 2 | Call | $11.00 | $2.93 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $11.00 | $2.93 |

When traders use butterfly on COHX
Butterflies on COHX are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect COHX to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
COHX thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for COHX extends from approximately $5.30 on the downside to $15.74 on the upside. A COHX long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if COHX settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current COHX IV rank near 26.67% 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 COHX at 173.00%. As a Financial Services name, COHX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to COHX-specific events.
COHX 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. COHX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move COHX alongside the broader basket even when COHX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current COHX chain quotes before placing a trade.
