Current ASST snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $16.76, ATM IV 94.61%, IV rank 6.16%, expected move 27.12%. The iron condor on ASST 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 28-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on ASST specifically: ASST IV at 94.61% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling ASST iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 27.12% (roughly $4.55 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ASST expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ASST should anchor to the underlying notional of $16.76 per share and to the trader's directional view on ASST stock.
ASST iron condor setup
The ASST 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 ASST near $16.76, the first option leg uses a $17.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ASST chain at a 28-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 ASST shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $17.50 | $1.47 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $18.50 | $1.10 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $16.00 | $1.39 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $15.00 | $0.98 |

ASST thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ASST extends from approximately $12.21 on the downside to $21.31 on the upside. A ASST iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when ASST 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 ASST IV rank near 6.16% 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 ASST at 94.61%. As a Communication Services name, ASST options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ASST-specific events.
ASST 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. ASST positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ASST alongside the broader basket even when ASST-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on ASST carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ASST earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ASST chain quotes before placing a trade.
