How are BILL strangle max profit and max loss calculated?

Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the put strike minus the combined debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached anywhere between the two OTM strikes). Two breakevens at call-strike plus debit and put-strike minus debit. For the BILL strangle priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 60.77%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$345.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

Current BILL snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $40.31, ATM IV 60.77%, IV rank 40.02%, expected move 17.42%. The strangle on BILL 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 strangle structure on BILL specifically: BILL IV at 60.77% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 17.42% (roughly $7.02 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 BILL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BILL should anchor to the underlying notional of $40.31 per share and to the trader's directional view on BILL stock.

BILL strangle setup

The BILL strangle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With BILL near $40.31, the first option leg uses a $42.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BILL 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 BILL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$42.00	$2.08
Buy 1	Put	$38.00	$1.38

When traders use strangle on BILL

Strangles on BILL are the cheaper cousin of the straddle - traders use them when they want a large directional move but are willing to give up the inner-strike sensitivity in exchange for a lower up-front debit on the BILL chain.

BILL thesis for this strangle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BILL extends from approximately $33.29 on the downside to $47.33 on the upside. A BILL long strangle is the OTM cousin of the straddle: lower up-front cost but the underlying has to travel further past either OTM strike before the position turns profitable at expiration. Current BILL IV rank near 40.02% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the strangle thesis on BILL should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, BILL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BILL-specific events.

BILL strangle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium, OTM); 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. BILL positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BILL alongside the broader basket even when BILL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current BILL chain quotes before placing a trade.
