DTM snapshot
As of November 13, 2026, spot at $119.55, ATM IV 28.90%, IV rank 41.28%, expected move 8.29%. The cash-secured put on DTM below is built from the November 13, 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 cash-secured put structure on DTM specifically: DTM IV at 28.90% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a DTM cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.29% (roughly $9.91 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 DTM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on DTM should anchor to the underlying notional of $119.55 per share and to the trader's directional view on DTM stock.
DTM cash-secured put setup
The DTM cash-secured put below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With DTM at $119.55 on that close, the first option leg uses a $115.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed DTM 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 DTM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use cash-secured put on DTM
Cash-secured puts on DTM earn premium while a trader waits to acquire DTM stock at a target strike below the current quote; most attractive when IV is rich and the trader is comfortable owning DTM.
DTM thesis for this cash-secured put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for DTM extends from approximately $109.64 on the downside to $129.46 on the upside. A DTM cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire DTM at the strike price; the strategy is most attractive when the trader is comfortable holding the underlying at that level and IV is rich enough to compensate for the assignment risk. Current DTM IV rank near 41.28% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on DTM should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Energy name, DTM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to DTM-specific events.
DTM cash-secured put positions are structurally neutral to slightly bullish; 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. DTM positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move DTM alongside the broader basket even when DTM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on DTM carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical DTM earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current DTM chain quotes before placing a trade.
