PTRN snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $21.43, ATM IV 72.10%, IV rank 29.32%, expected move 20.67%. The iron condor on PTRN below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on PTRN specifically: PTRN IV at 72.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling PTRN iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 20.67% (roughly $4.43 on the underlying). The 35-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 $21.43 per share and to the trader's directional view on PTRN stock.
PTRN iron condor setup
The PTRN 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 PTRN at $21.43 on that close, the first option leg uses a $22.50 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 35-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).

| Buy 1 | Call | $23.57 | N/A |

PTRN thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for PTRN extends from approximately $17.00 on the downside to $25.86 on the upside. A PTRN iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when PTRN 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 PTRN IV rank near 29.32% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on PTRN at 72.10%. 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 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. 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. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on PTRN carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical PTRN earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current PTRN chain quotes before placing a trade.
