ONX Long 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.

ONX snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $6.89, ATM IV 153.00%, expected move 43.86%. The long 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 long 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 long put setup
The ONX long 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 $7.00 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).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |

ONX thesis for this long 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 long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long ONX position with one put per 100 shares held. 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 long put positions are structurally bearish; 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. Long-premium structures like a long put on ONX 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 ONX chain quotes before placing a trade.
