BRT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $14.46, ATM IV 67.50%, IV rank 11.90%, expected move 5.31%. The iron condor on BRT 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 BRT specifically: BRT IV at 67.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling BRT iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.31% (roughly $0.77 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 BRT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BRT should anchor to the underlying notional of $14.46 per share and to the trader's directional view on BRT stock.
BRT iron condor setup
The BRT 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 BRT at $14.46 on that close, the first option leg uses a $15.18 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BRT 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 BRT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

BRT thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BRT extends from approximately $13.69 on the downside to $15.23 on the upside. A BRT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when BRT 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 BRT IV rank near 11.90% 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 BRT at 67.50%. As a Real Estate name, BRT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BRT-specific events.
BRT 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. BRT positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BRT alongside the broader basket even when BRT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on BRT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical BRT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current BRT chain quotes before placing a trade.
