What is a butterfly on EBIZ?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
EBIZ snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $30.60, ATM IV 28.90%, IV rank 21.89%, expected move 8.29%. The butterfly on EBIZ below is built from the 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 EBIZ specifically: EBIZ IV at 28.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a EBIZ butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.29% (roughly $2.54 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 EBIZ expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on EBIZ should anchor to the underlying notional of $30.60 per share and to the trader's directional view on EBIZ etf.
EBIZ butterfly setup
The EBIZ 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 EBIZ at $30.60 on that close, the first option leg uses a $29.07 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed EBIZ 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 EBIZ shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|

| Buy 1 | Call | $32.13 | N/A |

When traders use butterfly on EBIZ
Butterflies on EBIZ are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect EBIZ 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.
EBIZ thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for EBIZ extends from approximately $28.06 on the downside to $33.14 on the upside. A EBIZ long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if EBIZ settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current EBIZ IV rank near 21.89% 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 EBIZ at 28.90%. As a Financial Services name, EBIZ options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to EBIZ-specific events.
EBIZ 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. EBIZ positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move EBIZ alongside the broader basket even when EBIZ-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current EBIZ chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on EBIZ?
- A butterfly on EBIZ is the butterfly strategy applied to EBIZ (etf). The strategy is structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward): A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration. With EBIZ etf at $30.60 on the most recent close, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed EBIZ chain strike and the premiums come straight from that session's bid/ask midpoint.
- How are EBIZ 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 EBIZ butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 28.90%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is unbounded per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a EBIZ butterfly?
- The breakeven for the EBIZ butterfly priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve at expiration, derived from the end-of-day chain's premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The EBIZ market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move in the same options snapshot is approximately 8.29%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
