ATAI snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $7.26, ATM IV 96.90%, IV rank 22.40%, expected move 4.06%. The iron condor on ATAI below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on ATAI specifically: ATAI IV at 96.90% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling ATAI iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 4.06% (roughly $0.29 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated ATAI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on ATAI should anchor to the underlying notional of $7.26 per share and to the trader's directional view on ATAI stock.
ATAI iron condor setup
The ATAI 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 ATAI at $7.26 on that close, the first option leg uses a $7.62 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed ATAI chain at a 35-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 ATAI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

ATAI thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for ATAI extends from approximately $6.97 on the downside to $7.55 on the upside. A ATAI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when ATAI 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 ATAI IV rank near 22.40% 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 ATAI at 96.90%. As a Healthcare name, ATAI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to ATAI-specific events.
ATAI 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. ATAI positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move ATAI alongside the broader basket even when ATAI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on ATAI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical ATAI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current ATAI chain quotes before placing a trade.
