Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the MAGX butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 43.70%), the computed maximum profit is $126.11 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$162.50 per contract.

MAGX Butterfly Strategy

MAGX (Roundhill Investments - Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management - Leveraged industry), listed on CBOE.

The Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2X) the performance of the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (the “Magnificent Seven ETF”). The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a trading day. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the daily performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF. The Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from two times (2X) the Magnificent Seven ETF’s performance, before fees and expenses.

MAGX (Roundhill Investments - Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Leveraged, with a market capitalization of approximately $55.1M, a beta of 2.96 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 36.23-63.47, average daily share volume of 101K, a public-listing history dating back to 2024. These structural characteristics shape how MAGX etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of 2.96 indicates MAGX has historically moved more than the broader market, amplifying both the directional payoff and the realized volatility relative to an index-equivalent position.

What is a butterfly on MAGX?

Current MAGX snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $61.47, ATM IV 43.70%, IV rank 14.48%, expected move 12.53%. The butterfly on MAGX 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 butterfly structure on MAGX specifically: MAGX IV at 43.70% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a MAGX butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.53% (roughly $7.70 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 MAGX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MAGX should anchor to the underlying notional of $61.47 per share and to the trader's directional view on MAGX etf.

MAGX butterfly setup

The MAGX butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With MAGX near $61.47, the first option leg uses a $58.67 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MAGX 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 MAGX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Buy 1	Call	$58.67	$4.60
Sell 2	Call	$61.67	$2.80
Buy 1	Call	$64.67	$2.63

When traders use butterfly on MAGX

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

MAGX thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MAGX extends from approximately $53.77 on the downside to $69.17 on the upside. A MAGX long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if MAGX settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current MAGX IV rank near 14.48% 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 MAGX at 43.70%. As a Financial Services name, MAGX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MAGX-specific events.

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