OKTA snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $147.89, ATM IV 71.74%, IV rank 79.00%, expected move 20.57%. The iron condor on OKTA 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 OKTA specifically: OKTA IV at 71.74% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a OKTA iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.57% (roughly $30.42 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 OKTA expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on OKTA should anchor to the underlying notional of $147.89 per share and to the trader's directional view on OKTA stock.
OKTA iron condor setup
The OKTA 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 OKTA at $147.89 on that close, the first option leg uses a $155.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed OKTA 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 OKTA shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

OKTA thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for OKTA extends from approximately $117.47 on the downside to $178.31 on the upside. A OKTA iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when OKTA 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 OKTA IV rank near 79.00% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on OKTA at 71.74%. As a Technology name, OKTA options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to OKTA-specific events.
OKTA 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. OKTA positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move OKTA alongside the broader basket even when OKTA-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on OKTA carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical OKTA earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current OKTA chain quotes before placing a trade.
