Current FDIQ snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $68.01, ATM IV 26.40%, expected move 7.57%. The butterfly on FDIQ 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 butterfly structure on FDIQ specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for FDIQ is inferred from ATM IV at 26.40% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 7.57% (roughly $5.15 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 FDIQ expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FDIQ should anchor to the underlying notional of $68.01 per share and to the trader's directional view on FDIQ stock.

FDIQ butterfly setup

The FDIQ butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With FDIQ near $68.01, the first option leg uses a $65.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FDIQ 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 FDIQ shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$65.00	$4.80
Sell 2	Call	$68.00	$2.78
Buy 1	Call	$71.00	$1.04

When traders use butterfly on FDIQ

FDIQ thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FDIQ extends from approximately $62.86 on the downside to $73.16 on the upside. A FDIQ long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if FDIQ settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. As a Financial Services name, FDIQ options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FDIQ-specific events.

FDIQ butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. FDIQ positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FDIQ alongside the broader basket even when FDIQ-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FDIQ chain quotes before placing a trade.
