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.
Current FIG snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $22.81, ATM IV 85.22%, IV rank 52.37%, expected move 24.43%. The butterfly on FIG 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 28-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on FIG specifically: FIG IV at 85.22% 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 24.43% (roughly $5.57 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated FIG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FIG should anchor to the underlying notional of $22.81 per share and to the trader's directional view on FIG stock.
FIG butterfly setup
The FIG 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 FIG near $22.81, the first option leg uses a $21.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FIG chain at a 28-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 FIG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 2 | Call | $23.00 | $2.24 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $24.00 | $1.69 |

When traders use butterfly on FIG
Butterflies on FIG are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect FIG 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.
FIG thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FIG extends from approximately $17.24 on the downside to $28.38 on the upside. A FIG long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if FIG settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current FIG IV rank near 52.37% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on FIG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, FIG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FIG-specific events.
FIG 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. FIG positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FIG alongside the broader basket even when FIG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FIG chain quotes before placing a trade.
