PTIR Collar Strategy
PTIR (GraniteShares 2x Long PLTR Daily ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management - Leveraged industry), listed on NASDAQ.
This Fund aims to deliver daily investment performance that, before accounting for fees and expenses, is equivalent to two times (200%) the daily percentage movement of Palantir Technologies Inc.'s common stock (NASDAQ: PLTR). It is important to note that the Fund cannot guarantee it will consistently achieve this objective. Furthermore, for holding periods extending beyond a single day, investors should not anticipate its cumulative return to directly correspond to twice the cumulative return of PLTR.

These structural characteristics shape how PTIR etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

PTIR snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $18.98, ATM IV 90.70%, IV rank 55.85%, expected move 26.00%. The collar on PTIR 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 collar structure on PTIR specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range PTIR IV at 90.70% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 26.00% (roughly $4.94 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 PTIR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PTIR should anchor to the underlying notional of $18.98 per share and to the trader's directional view on PTIR etf.
PTIR collar setup
The PTIR collar 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 PTIR at $18.98 on that close, the first option leg uses a $20.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PTIR 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 PTIR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $18.98 | long |

| Buy 1 | Put | $18.00 | $1.48 |

PTIR thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PTIR extends from approximately $14.04 on the downside to $23.92 on the upside. A PTIR collar hedges an existing long PTIR 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. Current PTIR IV rank near 55.85% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on PTIR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, PTIR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PTIR-specific events.
PTIR 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. PTIR positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PTIR alongside the broader basket even when PTIR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PTIR chain quotes before placing a trade.
