COCO iron condor setup
The COCO 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 COCO near $77.54, the first option leg uses a $81.42 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets.

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

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