How are FCLD 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 FCLD butterfly priced from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV the current ATM IV), the computed maximum profit is $98.50 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$101.50 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

FCLD snapshot

As of November 13, 2026, spot at $39.73. The butterfly on FCLD 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 7-day expiry.

Why this butterfly structure on FCLD specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for FCLD is inferred from ATM IV alone. The 7-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated FCLD expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FCLD should anchor to the underlying notional of $39.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on FCLD etf.

FCLD butterfly setup

The FCLD 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 FCLD at $39.73 on that close, the first option leg uses a $38.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FCLD chain at a 7-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 FCLD shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$38.00	$1.93
Sell 2	Call	$40.00	$0.91
Buy 1	Call	$40.00	$0.91

When traders use butterfly on FCLD

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

FCLD thesis for this butterfly

A FCLD long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if FCLD settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, FCLD options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FCLD-specific events.

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