HSDT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $1.74, ATM IV 232.20%, IV rank 55.60%, expected move 66.57%. The iron condor on HSDT 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 iron condor structure on HSDT specifically: HSDT IV at 232.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a HSDT iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 66.57% (roughly $1.16 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 HSDT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on HSDT should anchor to the underlying notional of $1.74 per share and to the trader's directional view on HSDT stock.
HSDT iron condor setup
The HSDT 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 HSDT at $1.74 on that close, the first option leg uses a $1.83 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed HSDT 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 HSDT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Buy 1 | Call | $1.91 | N/A |
| Sell 1 | Put | $1.65 | N/A |

HSDT thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for HSDT extends from approximately $0.58 on the downside to $2.90 on the upside. A HSDT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when HSDT 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 HSDT IV rank near 55.60% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on HSDT should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, HSDT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to HSDT-specific events.
HSDT 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. HSDT positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move HSDT alongside the broader basket even when HSDT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on HSDT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical HSDT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current HSDT chain quotes before placing a trade.
