CONY snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $18.03, ATM IV 50.00%, IV rank 9.60%, expected move 14.33%. The iron condor on CONY 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 CONY specifically: CONY IV at 50.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CONY iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 14.33% (roughly $2.58 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 CONY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CONY should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.03 per share and to the trader's directional view on CONY etf.

CONY iron condor setup

The CONY 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 CONY at $18.03 on that close, 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 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 CONY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CONY thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CONY extends from approximately $15.45 on the downside to $20.61 on the upside. A CONY iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CONY 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 CONY IV rank near 9.60% 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 CONY at 50.00%. 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 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. 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. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CONY carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CONY earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CONY chain quotes before placing a trade.
