MT snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $73.86, ATM IV 41.74%, IV rank 34.56%, expected move 11.97%. The iron condor on MT 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 28-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on MT specifically: MT IV at 41.74% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a MT iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.97% (roughly $8.84 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated MT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MT should anchor to the underlying notional of $73.86 per share and to the trader's directional view on MT stock.

MT iron condor setup

The MT 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 MT at $73.86 on that close, the first option leg uses a $78.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MT chain at a 28-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 MT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$78.00	$1.90
Buy 1	Call	$81.00	$1.20
Sell 1	Put	$70.00	$1.75
Buy 1	Put	$66.00	$0.78

MT thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MT extends from approximately $65.02 on the downside to $82.70 on the upside. A MT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when MT 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 MT IV rank near 34.56% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on MT should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Basic Materials name, MT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MT-specific events.

MT 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. MT positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MT alongside the broader basket even when MT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on MT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical MT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current MT chain quotes before placing a trade.
