Current INTW snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $271.76, ATM IV 160.60%, IV rank 59.00%, expected move 46.04%. The iron condor on INTW below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on INTW specifically: INTW IV at 160.60% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a INTW iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 46.04% (roughly $125.13 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated INTW expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on INTW should anchor to the underlying notional of $271.76 per share and to the trader's directional view on INTW etf.
INTW iron condor setup
The INTW iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With INTW near $271.76, the first option leg uses a $285.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed INTW chain at a 34-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 INTW shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

As a Financial Services name, INTW options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to INTW-specific events.
INTW 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. INTW positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move INTW alongside the broader basket even when INTW-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on INTW carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical INTW earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current INTW chain quotes before placing a trade.
