RAML snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $14.73, ATM IV 113.00%, expected move 32.40%. The bear put spread on RAML 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 bear put spread structure on RAML specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for RAML is inferred from ATM IV at 113.00% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 32.40% (roughly $4.77 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 RAML expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RAML should anchor to the underlying notional of $14.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on RAML etf.
RAML bear put spread setup
The RAML bear put spread 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 RAML at $14.73 on that close, the first option leg uses a $15.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RAML 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 RAML shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 1 | Put | $15.00 | $1.65 |

A RAML bear put spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bearish position; relative to an outright long put on RAML, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. As a Financial Services name, RAML options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RAML-specific events.
RAML bear put spread positions are structurally moderately 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. RAML positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RAML alongside the broader basket even when RAML-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bear put spread on RAML 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.
