How are GGME butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?

For the GGME butterfly priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 19.00%), the computed maximum profit is $209.98 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$185.00 per contract.

GGME snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $64.72, ATM IV 19.00%, IV rank 4.62%, expected move 5.45%. The butterfly on GGME 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.

Why this butterfly structure on GGME specifically: GGME IV at 19.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a GGME butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.45% (roughly $3.53 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 GGME expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GGME should anchor to the underlying notional of $64.72 per share and to the trader's directional view on GGME etf.

GGME butterfly setup

The GGME butterfly 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 GGME at $64.72 on that close, the first option leg uses a $61.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GGME 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 GGME shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$61.00	$4.45
Sell 2	Call	$65.00	$1.55
Buy 1	Call	$68.00	$0.50

When traders use butterfly on GGME

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

GGME thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GGME extends from approximately $61.19 on the downside to $68.25 on the upside. A GGME long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if GGME settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current GGME IV rank near 4.62% 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 GGME at 19.00%. As a Financial Services name, GGME options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GGME-specific events.

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