Current FIVN snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $21.65, ATM IV 71.20%, IV rank 46.42%, expected move 20.41%. The iron condor on FIVN 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 63-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on FIVN specifically: FIVN IV at 71.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a FIVN iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.41% (roughly $4.42 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated FIVN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FIVN should anchor to the underlying notional of $21.65 per share and to the trader's directional view on FIVN stock.
FIVN iron condor setup
The FIVN 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 FIVN near $21.65, the first option leg uses a $22.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FIVN chain at a 63-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 FIVN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

As a Technology name, FIVN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FIVN-specific events.
FIVN 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. FIVN positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FIVN alongside the broader basket even when FIVN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on FIVN carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical FIVN earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current FIVN chain quotes before placing a trade.
