BETA snapshot
As of November 13, 2026, spot at $23.48, ATM IV 76.60%, IV rank 16.23%, expected move 21.96%. The iron condor on BETA below is built from the November 13, 2026 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 BETA specifically: BETA IV at 76.60% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling BETA iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.96% (roughly $5.16 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 BETA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BETA should anchor to the underlying notional of $23.48 per share and to the trader's directional view on BETA stock.
BETA iron condor setup
The BETA iron condor below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With BETA at $23.48 on that close, the first option leg uses a $25.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BETA 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 BETA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $25.00 | $1.65 |

| Sell 1 | Put | $22.50 | $1.40 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $21.00 | $0.93 |

BETA thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BETA extends from approximately $18.32 on the downside to $28.64 on the upside. A BETA iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when BETA 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 BETA IV rank near 16.23% 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 BETA at 76.60%. As a Industrials name, BETA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BETA-specific events.
BETA 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. BETA positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BETA alongside the broader basket even when BETA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on BETA carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical BETA earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current BETA chain quotes before placing a trade.
