Current DLO snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $11.27, ATM IV 52.50%, IV rank 12.87%, expected move 15.05%. The iron condor on DLO 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 DLO specifically: DLO IV at 52.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling DLO iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.05% (roughly $1.70 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 DLO expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on DLO should anchor to the underlying notional of $11.27 per share and to the trader's directional view on DLO stock.
DLO iron condor setup
The DLO 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 DLO near $11.27, the first option leg uses a $11.83 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed DLO 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 DLO shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

DLO thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for DLO extends from approximately $9.57 on the downside to $12.97 on the upside. A DLO iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when DLO 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 DLO IV rank near 12.87% 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 DLO at 52.50%. As a Technology name, DLO options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to DLO-specific events.
DLO 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. DLO positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move DLO alongside the broader basket even when DLO-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on DLO carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical DLO earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current DLO chain quotes before placing a trade.
