TTMX snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $8.48, ATM IV 169.20%, expected move 48.51%. The collar on TTMX 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 80-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on TTMX specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for TTMX is inferred from ATM IV at 169.20% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 48.51% (roughly $4.11 on the underlying). The 80-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TTMX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TTMX should anchor to the underlying notional of $8.48 per share and to the trader's directional view on TTMX etf.
TTMX collar setup
The TTMX 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 TTMX at $8.48 on that close, the first option leg uses a $9.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TTMX chain at a 80-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 TTMX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $8.48 | long |

TTMX thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TTMX extends from approximately $4.37 on the downside to $12.59 on the upside. A TTMX collar hedges an existing long TTMX 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. As a Financial Services name, TTMX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TTMX-specific events.
TTMX 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. TTMX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TTMX alongside the broader basket even when TTMX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current TTMX chain quotes before placing a trade.
