ONX Cash-Secured Put Strategy

ONX (Investment Managers Series Trust II - Tradr 2X Long ON Daily ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management industry), listed on CBOE.

ONX is a short-term tactical tool that aims to deliver twice (200%) the daily performance of ON Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: ON), before fees and expenses. The fund primarily enters into total return swap agreements with major global financial institutions that mirror ONs daily returns. In case swaps are unavailable or less efficient, the fund may use FLEX call options or directly hold ON 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.

ONX (Investment Managers Series Trust II - Tradr 2X Long ON Daily ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.6M, a beta of 6.15 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 5.29-28.75, average daily share volume of 47K, a public-listing history dating back to 2026. These structural characteristics shape how ONX etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of 6.15 indicates ONX 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 cash-secured put on ONX?

A cash-secured put sells an out-of-the-money put while holding cash equal to the strike-times-100 obligation, keeping the premium when the underlying stays above the strike.

ONX snapshot

As of September 29, 2026, spot at $6.89, ATM IV 153.00%, expected move 43.86%. The cash-secured put on ONX 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 cash-secured put structure on ONX specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for ONX is inferred from ATM IV at 153.00% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 43.86% (roughly $3.02 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 ONX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ONX should anchor to the underlying notional of $6.89 per share and to the trader's directional view on ONX etf.

ONX cash-secured put setup

The ONX cash-secured put 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 ONX at $6.89 on that close, the first option leg uses a $6.55 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ONX 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 ONX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ONX thesis for this cash-secured put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ONX extends from approximately $3.87 on the downside to $9.91 on the upside. A ONX cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire ONX at the strike price; the strategy is most attractive when the trader is comfortable holding the underlying at that level and IV is rich enough to compensate for the assignment risk. As a Financial Services name, ONX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ONX-specific events.

ONX cash-secured put positions are structurally neutral to slightly 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. ONX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ONX alongside the broader basket even when ONX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on ONX carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ONX earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ONX chain quotes before placing a trade.
