GXPS iron condor setup

The GXPS iron condor below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With GXPS at $26.13 on that close, the first option leg uses a $27.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets.

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