MPWX Collar Strategy
MPWX (Investment Managers Series Trust II - Tradr 2X Long MPWR Daily ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on CBOE.
MPWX is a short-term tactical tool that aims to deliver twice (200%) the daily performance of Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (MPWR), before fees and expenses. The fund primarily enters into total return swap agreements with major global financial institutions that mirror MPWRs daily returns. In case swaps are unavailable or less efficient, the fund may use FLEX call options or directly hold MPWR stock. Purchasers holding shares for longer than a day will need to monitor and rebalance their position frequently to attempt to achieve the 2x multiple. Purchasers should conduct their own individual stock research prior to initiating a position and trade with conviction. Due to the complexities of the product, shares tend to perform as anticipated only when the underlying shares are trending, and holders are on the positive corresponding side of that trade.
MPWX (Investment Managers Series Trust II - Tradr 2X Long MPWR Daily ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $2.3M, a beta of 0.74 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 10.65-28, average daily share volume of 20K, a public-listing history dating back to 2026. These structural characteristics shape how MPWX etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.74 places MPWX roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline.

MPWX snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $14.74, ATM IV 203.10%, expected move 58.23%. The collar on MPWX below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 80-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on MPWX specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for MPWX is inferred from ATM IV at 203.10% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 58.23% (roughly $8.58 on the underlying). The 80-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MPWX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MPWX should anchor to the underlying notional of $14.74 per share and to the trader's directional view on MPWX etf.
MPWX collar setup
The MPWX collar 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 MPWX at $14.74 on that close, the first option leg uses a $15.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MPWX chain at a 80-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 MPWX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

MPWX thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MPWX extends from approximately $6.16 on the downside to $23.32 on the upside. A MPWX collar hedges an existing long MPWX position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. As a Financial Services name, MPWX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MPWX-specific events.
MPWX collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); 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. MPWX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MPWX alongside the broader basket even when MPWX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current MPWX chain quotes before placing a trade.
