TSYY Long Call Strategy
TSYY (GraniteShares YieldBOOST TSLA ETF), in the Financial Services sector, (Asset Management - Leveraged industry), listed on NASDAQ.
The Fund's primary aim is to double (200%) the income earned from writing options on Tesla Inc. (TSLA). This is achieved by selling options on leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are designed to deliver two times the daily performance of TSLA. A secondary goal is to capture the performance of these underlying leveraged ETFs, though any potential investment gains are capped. Furthermore, the fund has the option to implement downside protection measures, which might affect the overall net income generated.
TSYY (GraniteShares YieldBOOST TSLA ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management - Leveraged, with a market capitalization of approximately $78.8M, a beta of 1.50 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 20.28-82.96, average daily share volume of 104K, a public-listing history dating back to 2024. These structural characteristics shape how TSYY etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

Current TSYY snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $23.39, ATM IV 54.90%, IV rank 10.82%, expected move 15.74%. The long call on TSYY below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 234-day expiry.
Why this long call structure on TSYY specifically: TSYY IV at 54.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a TSYY long call, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.74% (roughly $3.68 on the underlying). The 234-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TSYY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TSYY should anchor to the underlying notional of $23.39 per share and to the trader's directional view on TSYY etf.
TSYY long call setup
The TSYY long call below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TSYY near $23.39, the first option leg uses a $23.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TSYY chain at a 234-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 TSYY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use long call on TSYY
Long calls on TSYY express a bullish thesis with defined risk; traders use them ahead of TSYY catalysts (earnings, product launches, macro events) when the expected upside justifies the premium and theta decay.
TSYY thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TSYY extends from approximately $19.71 on the downside to $27.07 on the upside. A TSYY long call expresses a directional view that the underlying closes above the strike plus premium at expiration, ideally with implied volatility holding or expanding to preserve extrinsic value through the hold period. Current TSYY IV rank near 10.82% 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 TSYY at 54.90%. As a Financial Services name, TSYY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TSYY-specific events.
TSYY long call positions are structurally 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. TSYY positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TSYY alongside the broader basket even when TSYY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on TSYY 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. Always rebuild the position from current TSYY chain quotes before placing a trade.
