MRAX Long Call Strategy
MRAX (Investment Managers Series Trust II - Tradr 2X Long MRAM Daily ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on CBOE.
MRAX is a short-term tactical tool that aims to deliver twice (200%) the daily performance of Everspin Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MRAM), before fees and expenses. The fund primarily enters into total return swap agreements with major global financial institutions that mirror MRAM's daily returns. In case swaps are unavailable or less efficient, the fund may use FLEX call options or directly hold MRAM 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.
MRAX (Investment Managers Series Trust II - Tradr 2X Long MRAM Daily ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.6M, a beta of 0.00 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 18.09-41, average daily share volume of 7K, a public-listing history dating back to 2026. These structural characteristics shape how MRAX etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.
A beta of 0.00 indicates MRAX has historically moved less than the broader market, dampening realized volatility and producing tighter expected-move bands per unit of dollar exposure.

MRAX snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $30.93, ATM IV 168.00%, expected move 48.16%. The long call on MRAX 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 17-day expiry.
Why this long call structure on MRAX specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for MRAX is inferred from ATM IV at 168.00% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 48.16% (roughly $14.90 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MRAX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MRAX should anchor to the underlying notional of $30.93 per share and to the trader's directional view on MRAX etf.
MRAX long call setup
The MRAX long call 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 MRAX at $30.93 on that close, the first option leg uses a $31.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MRAX chain at a 17-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 MRAX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |

When traders use long call on MRAX

MRAX thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MRAX extends from approximately $16.03 on the downside to $45.83 on the upside. A MRAX long call expresses a directional view that the underlying closes above the strike plus premium at expiration, ideally with implied volatility holding or expanding to preserve extrinsic value through the hold period. As a Financial Services name, MRAX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MRAX-specific events.
MRAX long call positions are structurally bullish; 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. MRAX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MRAX alongside the broader basket even when MRAX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on MRAX are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current MRAX chain quotes before placing a trade.
