What is a butterfly on PTRN?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current PTRN snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $24.34, ATM IV 84.00%, IV rank 37.48%, expected move 24.08%. The butterfly on PTRN 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 18-day expiry.
Why this butterfly structure on PTRN specifically: PTRN IV at 84.00% 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 24.08% (roughly $5.86 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated PTRN expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on PTRN should anchor to the underlying notional of $24.34 per share and to the trader's directional view on PTRN stock.
PTRN butterfly setup
The PTRN butterfly below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With PTRN near $24.34, the first option leg uses a $23.12 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed PTRN chain at a 18-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 PTRN shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

PTRN thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PTRN extends from approximately $18.48 on the downside to $30.20 on the upside. A PTRN long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if PTRN settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current PTRN IV rank near 37.48% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on PTRN should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, PTRN options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to PTRN-specific events.
PTRN butterfly positions are structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward); 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. PTRN positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move PTRN alongside the broader basket even when PTRN-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current PTRN chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on PTRN?
- A butterfly on PTRN is the butterfly strategy applied to PTRN (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward): A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration. With PTRN stock trading near $24.34, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed PTRN chain strike and the premiums come straight from the end-of-day bid/ask midpoint.
- How are PTRN butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?
- Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the PTRN butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 84.00%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is unbounded per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a PTRN butterfly?
- The breakeven for the PTRN butterfly priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current PTRN market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 24.08%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
