Current NUCL snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $10.64, ATM IV 89.80%, expected move 25.74%. The iron condor on NUCL 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 34-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on NUCL specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for NUCL is inferred from ATM IV at 89.80% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 25.74% (roughly $2.74 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated NUCL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on NUCL should anchor to the underlying notional of $10.64 per share and to the trader's directional view on NUCL stock.
NUCL iron condor setup
The NUCL 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 NUCL near $10.64, the first option leg uses a $11.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed NUCL chain at a 34-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 NUCL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

NUCL thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for NUCL extends from approximately $7.90 on the downside to $13.38 on the upside. A NUCL iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when NUCL 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 Energy name, NUCL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to NUCL-specific events.
NUCL 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. NUCL positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move NUCL alongside the broader basket even when NUCL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on NUCL carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical NUCL earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current NUCL chain quotes before placing a trade.
