How are CONY butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?

Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the CONY butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 54.50%), the computed maximum profit is $22.50 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$77.50 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

Current CONY snapshot

As of June 29, 2026, spot at $19.48, ATM IV 54.50%, IV rank 32.24%, expected move 15.62%. The butterfly on CONY 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 18-day expiry.

Why this butterfly structure on CONY specifically: CONY IV at 54.50% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.62% (roughly $3.04 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CONY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CONY should anchor to the underlying notional of $19.48 per share and to the trader's directional view on CONY etf.

CONY butterfly setup

The CONY butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CONY near $19.48, the first option leg uses a $19.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CONY chain at a 18-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 CONY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$19.00	$0.75
Sell 2	Call	$19.00	$0.75
Buy 1	Call	$20.00	$0.53

When traders use butterfly on CONY

Butterflies on CONY are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect CONY 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.

CONY thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CONY extends from approximately $16.44 on the downside to $22.52 on the upside. A CONY long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if CONY settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current CONY IV rank near 32.24% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on CONY should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, CONY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CONY-specific events.

CONY 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. CONY positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CONY alongside the broader basket even when CONY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current CONY chain quotes before placing a trade.
