LITX snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $33.40, ATM IV 161.40%, expected move 46.27%. The iron condor on LITX 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 35-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on LITX specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for LITX is inferred from ATM IV at 161.40% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 46.27% (roughly $15.45 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 LITX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LITX should anchor to the underlying notional of $33.40 per share and to the trader's directional view on LITX stock.
LITX iron condor setup
The LITX 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 LITX at $33.40 on that close, the first option leg uses a $35.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LITX 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 LITX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

| Sell 1 | Put | $31.67 | $5.60 |

LITX thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LITX extends from approximately $17.95 on the downside to $48.85 on the upside. A LITX iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when LITX 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. As a Financial Services name, LITX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LITX-specific events.
LITX 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. LITX positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LITX alongside the broader basket even when LITX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on LITX carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical LITX earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current LITX chain quotes before placing a trade.
