CQTM snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $27.38, ATM IV 76.20%, expected move 21.85%. The iron condor on CQTM below is built from the August 14, 2026 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 CQTM specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for CQTM is inferred from ATM IV at 76.20% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 21.85% (roughly $5.98 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 CQTM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CQTM should anchor to the underlying notional of $27.38 per share and to the trader's directional view on CQTM stock.

CQTM iron condor setup

The CQTM iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CQTM at $27.38 on that close, the first option leg uses a $29.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CQTM 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 CQTM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

CQTM thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CQTM extends from approximately $21.40 on the downside to $33.36 on the upside. A CQTM iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when CQTM 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. As a Financial Services name, CQTM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CQTM-specific events.

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