PTF snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $113.10, ATM IV 47.10%, IV rank 56.41%, expected move 13.50%. The cash-secured put on PTF below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this cash-secured put structure on PTF specifically: PTF IV at 47.10% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a PTF cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.50% (roughly $15.27 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PTF expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PTF should anchor to the underlying notional of $113.10 per share and to the trader's directional view on PTF etf.
PTF cash-secured put setup
The PTF cash-secured put below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With PTF at $113.10 on that close, the first option leg uses a $105.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PTF chain at a 35-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 PTF shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PTF thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PTF extends from approximately $97.83 on the downside to $128.37 on the upside. A PTF cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire PTF 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. Current PTF IV rank near 56.41% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on PTF should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, PTF options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PTF-specific events.
PTF 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. PTF positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PTF alongside the broader basket even when PTF-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on PTF carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical PTF earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current PTF chain quotes before placing a trade.
