What is a iron condor on DFTX?
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.
DFTX snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $42.37, ATM IV 83.30%, IV rank 11.51%, expected move 23.88%. The iron condor on DFTX 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 DFTX specifically: DFTX IV at 83.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling DFTX iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 23.88% (roughly $10.12 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 DFTX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on DFTX should anchor to the underlying notional of $42.37 per share and to the trader's directional view on DFTX stock.
DFTX iron condor setup
The DFTX 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 DFTX at $42.37 on that close, the first option leg uses a $44.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed DFTX 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 DFTX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
| Action | Type | Strike / Basis | Premium (est) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $44.00 | $4.33 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $47.00 | $2.90 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $40.00 | $2.80 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $38.00 | $1.93 |

When traders use iron condor on DFTX
Iron condors on DFTX are a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that profits if DFTX stock stays inside the inner short strikes; short strikes typically sit near 1 standard deviation from spot.
DFTX thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for DFTX extends from approximately $32.25 on the downside to $52.49 on the upside. A DFTX iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when DFTX 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 DFTX IV rank near 11.51% 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 DFTX at 83.30%. As a Healthcare name, DFTX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to DFTX-specific events.
DFTX 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. DFTX positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move DFTX alongside the broader basket even when DFTX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on DFTX carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical DFTX earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current DFTX chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a iron condor on DFTX?
- A iron condor on DFTX is the iron condor strategy applied to DFTX (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / range-bound: 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. With DFTX stock at $42.37 on the August 14, 2026 close, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed DFTX chain strike and the premiums come straight from that session's bid/ask midpoint.
- How are DFTX iron condor max profit and max loss calculated?
- Max profit equals the net credit times 100 inside the inner strikes; max loss equals wing width minus credit times 100. Two breakevens at inner strikes plus and minus the credit. For the DFTX iron condor priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 83.30%), the computed maximum profit is $230.00 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$70.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a DFTX iron condor?
- The breakeven for the DFTX iron condor priced on this page is roughly $46.30 at expiration, derived from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain's premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The DFTX market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move in the same options snapshot is approximately 23.88%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
- When should you consider a iron condor on DFTX?
