A cash-secured put sells an out-of-the-money put while holding cash equal to the strike-times-100 obligation, keeping the premium when the underlying stays above the strike.
BOT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $31.83, ATM IV 119.00%, IV rank 63.87%, expected move 34.12%. The cash-secured put on BOT 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 cash-secured put structure on BOT specifically: BOT IV at 119.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a BOT cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 34.12% (roughly $10.86 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 BOT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BOT should anchor to the underlying notional of $31.83 per share and to the trader's directional view on BOT stock.
BOT cash-secured put setup
The BOT cash-secured put below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With BOT at $31.83 on that close, the first option leg uses a $30.24 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BOT 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 BOT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use cash-secured put on BOT
Cash-secured puts on BOT earn premium while a trader waits to acquire BOT stock at a target strike below the current quote; most attractive when IV is rich and the trader is comfortable owning BOT.
BOT thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BOT extends from approximately $20.97 on the downside to $42.69 on the upside. A BOT cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire BOT at the strike price; the strategy is most attractive when the trader is comfortable holding the underlying at that level and IV is rich enough to compensate for the assignment risk. Current BOT IV rank near 63.87% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on BOT should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, BOT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BOT-specific events.
BOT cash-secured put positions are structurally neutral to slightly bullish; 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. BOT positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BOT alongside the broader basket even when BOT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on BOT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical BOT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current BOT chain quotes before placing a trade.
