ROBN snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $34.14, ATM IV 117.80%, IV rank 18.05%, expected move 33.77%. The collar on ROBN 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 collar structure on ROBN specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed ROBN IV at 117.80% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 33.77% (roughly $11.53 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 ROBN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ROBN should anchor to the underlying notional of $34.14 per share and to the trader's directional view on ROBN etf.
ROBN collar setup
The ROBN collar 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 ROBN at $34.14 on that close, the first option leg uses a $36.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ROBN 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 ROBN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ROBN thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ROBN extends from approximately $22.61 on the downside to $45.67 on the upside. A ROBN collar hedges an existing long ROBN 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 ROBN IV rank near 18.05% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on ROBN at 117.80%. As a Financial Services name, ROBN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ROBN-specific events.
ROBN 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. ROBN positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ROBN alongside the broader basket even when ROBN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current ROBN chain quotes before placing a trade.
