DISK snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $38.34, ATM IV 71.10%, expected move 20.38%. The iron condor on DISK 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 DISK specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for DISK is inferred from ATM IV at 71.10% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.38% (roughly $7.82 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 DISK expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on DISK should anchor to the underlying notional of $38.34 per share and to the trader's directional view on DISK stock.
DISK iron condor setup
The DISK 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 DISK at $38.34 on that close, the first option leg uses a $40.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed DISK 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 DISK shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

DISK thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for DISK extends from approximately $30.52 on the downside to $46.16 on the upside. A DISK iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when DISK 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 Communication Services name, DISK options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to DISK-specific events.
DISK 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. DISK positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move DISK alongside the broader basket even when DISK-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on DISK carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical DISK earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current DISK chain quotes before placing a trade.
