Current AGYS snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $104.63, ATM IV 56.60%, IV rank 8.25%, expected move 16.23%. The iron condor on AGYS 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 17-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on AGYS specifically: AGYS IV at 56.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling AGYS iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 16.23% (roughly $16.98 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AGYS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AGYS should anchor to the underlying notional of $104.63 per share and to the trader's directional view on AGYS stock.
AGYS iron condor setup
The AGYS iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AGYS near $104.63, the first option leg uses a $110.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AGYS 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 AGYS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 1 | Call | $110.00 | $2.65 |

AGYS thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AGYS extends from approximately $87.65 on the downside to $121.61 on the upside. A AGYS iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when AGYS 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 AGYS IV rank near 8.25% 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 AGYS at 56.60%. As a Technology name, AGYS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AGYS-specific events.
AGYS 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. AGYS positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AGYS alongside the broader basket even when AGYS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on AGYS carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical AGYS earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current AGYS chain quotes before placing a trade.
