Why this bull call spread structure on JXN specifically: JXN IV at 35.40% 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 10.15% (roughly $10.71 on the underlying).

JXN bull call spread setup

The JXN bull call spread below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With JXN near $105.48, the first option leg uses a $105.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets.

Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 JXN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).
