CCXI iron condor setup

The CCXI 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 CCXI at $16.86 on that close, the first option leg uses a $17.70 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets.

Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 CCXI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CCXI thesis for this iron condor

A CCXI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CCXI 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 CCXI IV rank near 93.24% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on CCXI at 128.00%.

CCXI 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. CCXI positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CCXI alongside the broader basket even when CCXI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CCXI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CCXI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CCXI chain quotes before placing a trade.
