How are LOFF strangle max profit and max loss calculated?

Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the put strike minus the combined debit (reached at zero).

For the LOFF strangle priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 127.30%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$377.50 per contract.

LOFF snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $15.04, ATM IV 127.30%, expected move 36.50%. The strangle on LOFF 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 strangle structure on LOFF specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for LOFF is inferred from ATM IV at 127.30% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 36.50% (roughly $5.49 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 LOFF expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LOFF should anchor to the underlying notional of $15.04 per share and to the trader's directional view on LOFF stock.

LOFF strangle setup

The LOFF strangle 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 LOFF at $15.04 on that close, the first option leg uses a $16.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LOFF 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 LOFF shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$16.00	$1.90
Buy 1	Put	$14.00	$1.88

When traders use strangle on LOFF

Strangles on LOFF are the cheaper cousin of the straddle - traders use them when they want a large directional move but are willing to give up the inner-strike sensitivity in exchange for a lower up-front debit on the LOFF chain.

LOFF thesis for this strangle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LOFF extends from approximately $9.55 on the downside to $20.53 on the upside. A LOFF long strangle is the OTM cousin of the straddle: lower up-front cost but the underlying has to travel further past either OTM strike before the position turns profitable at expiration. As a Financial Services name, LOFF options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LOFF-specific events.

LOFF strangle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium, OTM); 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. LOFF positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LOFF alongside the broader basket even when LOFF-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current LOFF chain quotes before placing a trade.
