HAUZ snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $22.90, ATM IV 497.60%, IV rank 100.00%, expected move 142.66%. The iron condor on HAUZ 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 iron condor structure on HAUZ specifically: HAUZ IV at 497.60% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a HAUZ iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 142.66% (roughly $32.67 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 HAUZ expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on HAUZ should anchor to the underlying notional of $22.90 per share and to the trader's directional view on HAUZ etf.
HAUZ iron condor setup
The HAUZ 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 HAUZ at $22.90 on that close, the first option leg uses a $24.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed HAUZ 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 HAUZ shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 1 | Put | $22.00 | $0.57 |

HAUZ thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for HAUZ extends from approximately $-9.77 on the downside to $55.57 on the upside. A HAUZ iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when HAUZ stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current HAUZ IV rank near 100.00% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on HAUZ at 497.60%. As a Financial Services name, HAUZ options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to HAUZ-specific events.
HAUZ iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; 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. HAUZ positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move HAUZ alongside the broader basket even when HAUZ-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on HAUZ carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical HAUZ earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current HAUZ chain quotes before placing a trade.
