How are PCOR strangle max profit and max loss calculated?

Upside max profit is unbounded; downside max profit is bounded at the put strike minus the combined debit (reached at zero). Max loss equals the combined debit times 100 (reached anywhere between the two OTM strikes). Two breakevens at call-strike plus debit and put-strike minus debit. For the PCOR strangle priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 56.70%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$615.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a PCOR strangle?

The breakeven for the PCOR strangle priced on this page is roughly $38.85 and $56.15 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums.

Current PCOR snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $46.62, ATM IV 56.70%, IV rank 45.38%, expected move 16.26%. The strangle on PCOR 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 63-day expiry.

Why this strangle structure on PCOR specifically: PCOR IV at 56.70% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 16.26% (roughly $7.58 on the underlying). The 63-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PCOR expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PCOR should anchor to the underlying notional of $46.62 per share and to the trader's directional view on PCOR stock.

PCOR strangle setup

The PCOR strangle below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With PCOR near $46.62, the first option leg uses a $50.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PCOR chain at a 63-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 PCOR shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$50.00	$3.03
Buy 1	Put	$45.00	$3.13

When traders use strangle on PCOR

Strangles on PCOR are the cheaper cousin of the straddle - traders use them when they want a large directional move but are willing to give up the inner-strike sensitivity in exchange for a lower up-front debit on the PCOR chain.

PCOR thesis for this strangle

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PCOR extends from approximately $39.04 on the downside to $54.20 on the upside. A PCOR long strangle is the OTM cousin of the straddle: lower up-front cost but the underlying has to travel further past either OTM strike before the position turns profitable at expiration. Current PCOR IV rank near 45.38% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the strangle thesis on PCOR should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, PCOR options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PCOR-specific events.

PCOR strangle positions are structurally neutral / high-volatility (long premium, OTM); 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. PCOR positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PCOR alongside the broader basket even when PCOR-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PCOR chain quotes before placing a trade.
