Current CPAY snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $329.01, ATM IV 34.70%, IV rank 34.06%, expected move 9.95%. The iron condor on CPAY below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on CPAY specifically: CPAY IV at 34.70% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a CPAY iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.95% (roughly $32.73 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CPAY expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CPAY should anchor to the underlying notional of $329.01 per share and to the trader's directional view on CPAY stock.
CPAY iron condor setup
The CPAY 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 CPAY near $329.01, the first option leg uses a $350.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CPAY chain at a 34-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 CPAY shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

A CPAY iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CPAY 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 CPAY IV rank near 34.06% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on CPAY should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, CPAY options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CPAY-specific events.
CPAY 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. CPAY positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CPAY alongside the broader basket even when CPAY-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on CPAY carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CPAY earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CPAY chain quotes before placing a trade.
