Why this bull call spread structure on ADTN specifically: ADTN IV at 83.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 23.80% (roughly $3.33 on the underlying).

ADTN bull call spread setup

The ADTN bull call spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With ADTN near $13.98, the first option leg uses a $14.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ADTN 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 ADTN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
