Current FTI snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $71.22, ATM IV 38.20%, IV rank 44.42%, expected move 10.95%. The collar on FTI 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 collar structure on FTI specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range FTI IV at 38.20% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 10.95% (roughly $7.80 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 FTI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on FTI should anchor to the underlying notional of $71.22 per share and to the trader's directional view on FTI stock.

FTI collar setup

The FTI collar below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With FTI near $71.22, the first option leg uses a $75.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed FTI 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 FTI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$71.22	long
Sell 1	Call	$75.00	$3.03
Buy 1	Put	$70.00	$3.70

Collars on FTI hedge an existing long FTI stock position; the long put sets a floor while the short call finances it, often run as a near-zero-cost hedge during expected volatility windows.

FTI thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for FTI extends from approximately $63.42 on the downside to $79.02 on the upside. A FTI collar hedges an existing long FTI position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. Current FTI IV rank near 44.42% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on FTI should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Energy name, FTI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to FTI-specific events.

FTI collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); 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. FTI positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move FTI alongside the broader basket even when FTI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current FTI chain quotes before placing a trade.
