KWEB iron condor setup

The KWEB 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 KWEB near $30.62, the first option leg uses a $32.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets.

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