FTXG snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $23.14, ATM IV 18.30%, IV rank 8.89%, expected move 5.25%. The long put on FTXG 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.

FTXG long put setup

The FTXG long put 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 FTXG at $23.14 on that close, the first option leg uses a $23.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FTXG 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 FTXG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

FTXG thesis for this long put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FTXG extends from approximately $21.93 on the downside to $24.35 on the upside. A FTXG long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long FTXG position with one put per 100 shares held. Current FTXG IV rank near 8.89% 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 FTXG at 18.30%. As a Financial Services name, FTXG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FTXG-specific events.

FTXG long put positions are structurally bearish; 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. FTXG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FTXG alongside the broader basket even when FTXG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on FTXG are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current FTXG chain quotes before placing a trade.
