How are CRMX 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 CRMX butterfly priced from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 193.30%), the computed maximum profit is $32.50 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$67.50 per contract.

What is the breakeven for a CRMX butterfly?

The breakeven for the CRMX butterfly priced on this page is roughly $7.33 at expiration, derived from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain's premiums.

CRMX Butterfly Strategy

CRMX (Tradr 2X Long CRML Daily ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management - Leveraged industry), listed on CBOE.

CRMX is an intraday tactical investment vehicle, specifically designed to provide twice (200%) the daily price performance of Critical Metals Corp. (CRML), before accounting for management fees and operational expenses. The fund's core strategy involves engaging in total return swap agreements with prominent global financial institutions, which are structured to mirror CRML's daily movements. In scenarios where swaps are either unavailable or less efficient, the fund retains the flexibility to utilize FLEX call options or, alternatively, hold CRML common stock directly. Crucially, investors who intend to hold shares for longer than a single trading day must be prepared to frequently monitor and rebalance their positions to maintain the targeted 2x daily leverage. Due to the inherent complexities of this product, its optimal performance is typically observed when the underlying CRML shares exhibit a sustained upward trend, and the investor's market direction aligns with that trend. Prospective investors are strongly advised to conduct their own comprehensive individual stock research prior to initiating any position and to invest with a well-informed strategy.

CRMX (Tradr 2X Long CRML Daily ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Leveraged, with a market capitalization of approximately $366,971, a beta of 8.99 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 7.0218-577.32, average daily share volume of 57K, a public-listing history dating back to 2026. These structural characteristics shape how CRMX etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of 8.99 indicates CRMX has historically moved more than the broader market, amplifying both the directional payoff and the realized volatility relative to an index-equivalent position.

CRMX snapshot

As of November 13, 2026, spot at $7.34, ATM IV 193.30%, IV rank 22.85%, expected move 55.42%. The butterfly on CRMX 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 CRMX specifically: CRMX IV at 193.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a CRMX butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 55.42% (roughly $4.07 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 CRMX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CRMX should anchor to the underlying notional of $7.34 per share and to the trader's directional view on CRMX etf.

CRMX butterfly setup

The CRMX 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 CRMX at $7.34 on that close, the first option leg uses a $7.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CRMX 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 CRMX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$7.00	$2.03
Sell 2	Call	$7.00	$2.03
Buy 1	Call	$8.00	$1.70

When traders use butterfly on CRMX

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

CRMX thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CRMX extends from approximately $3.27 on the downside to $11.41 on the upside. A CRMX long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if CRMX settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current CRMX IV rank near 22.85% 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 CRMX at 193.30%. As a Financial Services name, CRMX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CRMX-specific events.

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