What is a iron condor on COYA?
An iron condor sells a call spread and a put spread at strikes outside spot, collecting net premium that is kept if the underlying stays inside the inner short strikes.
COYA snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $4.86, ATM IV 26.20%, IV rank 3.64%, expected move 7.51%. The iron condor on COYA 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 COYA specifically: COYA IV at 26.20% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling COYA iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.51% (roughly $0.37 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 COYA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on COYA should anchor to the underlying notional of $4.86 per share and to the trader's directional view on COYA stock.
COYA iron condor setup
The COYA 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 COYA at $4.86 on that close, the first option leg uses a $5.10 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed COYA 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 COYA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $5.35 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $4.62 | N/A |

COYA thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for COYA extends from approximately $4.49 on the downside to $5.23 on the upside. A COYA iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when COYA 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 COYA IV rank near 3.64% 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 COYA at 26.20%. As a Healthcare name, COYA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to COYA-specific events.
COYA 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. COYA positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move COYA alongside the broader basket even when COYA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on COYA carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical COYA earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current COYA chain quotes before placing a trade.
