DBX snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $34.59, ATM IV 23.81%, IV rank 15.64%, expected move 6.83%. The iron condor on DBX 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 DBX specifically: DBX IV at 23.81% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling DBX iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 6.83% (roughly $2.36 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 DBX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on DBX should anchor to the underlying notional of $34.59 per share and to the trader's directional view on DBX stock.

DBX iron condor setup

The DBX 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 DBX at $34.59 on that close, the first option leg uses a $36.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed DBX 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 DBX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$36.00	$0.88
Buy 1	Call	$38.00	$0.43
Sell 1	Put	$33.00	$0.75
Buy 1	Put	$31.00	$0.33

DBX thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for DBX extends from approximately $32.23 on the downside to $36.95 on the upside. A DBX iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when DBX 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 DBX IV rank near 15.64% 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 DBX at 23.81%. As a Technology name, DBX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to DBX-specific events.

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