What is a butterfly on FGNX?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
FGNX snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $7.17, ATM IV 216.50%, IV rank 48.32%, expected move 62.07%. The butterfly on FGNX below is built from the 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 butterfly structure on FGNX specifically: FGNX IV at 216.50% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 62.07% (roughly $4.45 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 FGNX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FGNX should anchor to the underlying notional of $7.17 per share and to the trader's directional view on FGNX stock.
FGNX butterfly setup
The FGNX 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 FGNX at $7.17 on that close, the first option leg uses a $6.81 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FGNX 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 FGNX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on FGNX
Butterflies on FGNX are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect FGNX to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.
FGNX thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FGNX extends from approximately $2.72 on the downside to $11.62 on the upside. A FGNX long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if FGNX settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current FGNX IV rank near 48.32% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on FGNX should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, FGNX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FGNX-specific events.
FGNX 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. FGNX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FGNX alongside the broader basket even when FGNX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FGNX chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on FGNX?
- A butterfly on FGNX is the butterfly strategy applied to FGNX (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward): A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration. With FGNX stock at $7.17 on the most recent close, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed FGNX chain strike and the premiums come straight from that session's bid/ask midpoint.
- How are FGNX butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?
- Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the FGNX butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 216.50%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is unbounded per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a FGNX butterfly?
- The breakeven for the FGNX butterfly priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve at expiration, derived from the end-of-day chain's premiums.
