EMXC iron condor setup

The EMXC 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 EMXC at $97.22 on that close, the first option leg uses a $100.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets.

Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 EMXC shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Buy 1	Call	$105.00	$1.03
