Current BELFB snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $259.33, ATM IV 48.30%, IV rank 42.89%, expected move 13.85%. The iron condor on BELFB 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 34-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on BELFB specifically: BELFB IV at 48.30% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a BELFB iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.85% (roughly $35.91 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated BELFB expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BELFB should anchor to the underlying notional of $259.33 per share and to the trader's directional view on BELFB stock.
BELFB iron condor setup
The BELFB 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 BELFB near $259.33, the first option leg uses a $270.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BELFB chain at a 34-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 BELFB shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
