GOOS snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $8.72, ATM IV 161.70%, IV rank 30.18%, expected move 46.36%. The iron condor on GOOS below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 14-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on GOOS specifically: GOOS IV at 161.70% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a GOOS iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 46.36% (roughly $4.04 on the underlying). The 14-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated GOOS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GOOS should anchor to the underlying notional of $8.72 per share and to the trader's directional view on GOOS stock.
GOOS iron condor setup
The GOOS iron condor below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With GOOS at $8.72 on that close, the first option leg uses a $9.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GOOS chain at a 14-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 GOOS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Sell 1 | Call | $9.00 | $0.18 |
| Buy 1 | Call | $9.50 | $0.04 |
| Sell 1 | Put | $8.50 | $0.13 |
| Buy 1 | Put | $8.00 | $0.03 |

GOOS thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GOOS extends from approximately $4.68 on the downside to $12.76 on the upside. A GOOS iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when GOOS stays inside the inner short strikes through expiration; the wing width should reflect the trader's tolerance for the maximum loss scenario where the underlying breaches an outer strike. Current GOOS IV rank near 30.18% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on GOOS should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, GOOS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GOOS-specific events.
GOOS 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. GOOS positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GOOS alongside the broader basket even when GOOS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on GOOS carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical GOOS earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current GOOS chain quotes before placing a trade.
