How are WQTM butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?

Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the WQTM butterfly priced from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 40.80%), the computed maximum profit is $146.41 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$40.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a WQTM butterfly?

The breakeven for the WQTM butterfly priced on this page is roughly $30.40 and $33.60 at expiration, derived from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain's premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The WQTM market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move in the same options snapshot is approximately 11.70%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current WQTM implied volatility affect this butterfly?

Current WQTM ATM IV is 40.80%; IV rank context is unavailable in the current snapshot.

WQTM snapshot

As of September 29, 2026, spot at $32.02, ATM IV 40.80%, expected move 11.70%. The butterfly on WQTM 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 52-day expiry.

Why this butterfly structure on WQTM specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for WQTM is inferred from ATM IV at 40.80% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.70% (roughly $3.75 on the underlying). The 52-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated WQTM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WQTM should anchor to the underlying notional of $32.02 per share and to the trader's directional view on WQTM etf.

WQTM butterfly setup

The WQTM butterfly 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 WQTM at $32.02 on that close, the first option leg uses a $30.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WQTM chain at a 52-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 WQTM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$30.00	$3.05
Sell 2	Call	$32.00	$1.85
Buy 1	Call	$34.00	$1.05

When traders use butterfly on WQTM

Butterflies on WQTM are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect WQTM to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.

WQTM thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WQTM extends from approximately $28.27 on the downside to $35.77 on the upside. A WQTM long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if WQTM settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, WQTM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WQTM-specific events.

WQTM butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. WQTM positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move WQTM alongside the broader basket even when WQTM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current WQTM chain quotes before placing a trade.
