As of June 30, 2026, spot at $154.16, ATM IV 43.20%, IV rank 46.44%, expected move 12.39%. The iron condor on NTAP below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 17-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on NTAP specifically: NTAP IV at 43.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a NTAP iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 12.39% (roughly $19.09 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated NTAP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

NTAP iron condor setup

The NTAP iron condor below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With NTAP near $154.16, the first option leg uses a $160.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets.

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

Sell 1	Call	$160.00	$3.30
Buy 1	Call	$170.00	$1.28
