TSLT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $12.18, ATM IV 77.20%, IV rank 5.47%, expected move 22.13%. The iron condor on TSLT 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 iron condor structure on TSLT specifically: TSLT IV at 77.20% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling TSLT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 22.13% (roughly $2.70 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 TSLT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TSLT should anchor to the underlying notional of $12.18 per share and to the trader's directional view on TSLT etf.
TSLT iron condor setup
The TSLT iron condor 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 TSLT at $12.18 on that close, the first option leg uses a $13.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TSLT 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 TSLT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $13.00 | $0.85 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $13.00 | $0.85 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $12.00 | $1.10 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $11.00 | $0.60 |

TSLT thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TSLT extends from approximately $9.48 on the downside to $14.88 on the upside. A TSLT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when TSLT stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current TSLT IV rank near 5.47% 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 TSLT at 77.20%. As a Financial Services name, TSLT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TSLT-specific events.
TSLT iron condor positions are structurally neutral / range-bound; 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. TSLT positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TSLT alongside the broader basket even when TSLT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on TSLT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TSLT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TSLT chain quotes before placing a trade.
