MYPS snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $0.53, ATM IV 28.00%, IV rank 2.34%, expected move 8.03%. The bull call spread on MYPS 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 bull call spread structure on MYPS specifically: MYPS IV at 28.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a MYPS bull call spread, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.03% (roughly $0.04 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 MYPS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on MYPS should anchor to the underlying notional of $0.53 per share and to the trader's directional view on MYPS stock.
MYPS bull call spread setup
The MYPS 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 MYPS at $0.53 on that close, the first option leg uses a $0.53 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed MYPS 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 MYPS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

MYPS thesis for this bull call spread
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for MYPS extends from approximately $0.49 on the downside to $0.57 on the upside. A MYPS bull call spread caps both the risk and the reward of a bullish position; relative to an outright long call on MYPS, the spread reduces the cost basis but limits the maximum profit to the strike width minus net debit. Current MYPS IV rank near 2.34% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on MYPS at 28.00%. As a Technology name, MYPS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to MYPS-specific events.
MYPS bull call spread positions are structurally moderately bullish; 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. MYPS positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move MYPS alongside the broader basket even when MYPS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a bull call spread on MYPS are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current MYPS chain quotes before placing a trade.
