A cash-secured put sells an out-of-the-money put while holding cash equal to the strike-times-100 obligation, keeping the premium when the underlying stays above the strike.

Current RAMP snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $29.73, ATM IV 60.20%, IV rank 49.16%, expected move 17.26%. The cash-secured put on RAMP 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 cash-secured put structure on RAMP specifically: RAMP IV at 60.20% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a RAMP cash-secured put sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 17.26% (roughly $5.13 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 RAMP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RAMP should anchor to the underlying notional of $29.73 per share and to the trader's directional view on RAMP stock.

RAMP cash-secured put setup

The RAMP cash-secured put below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With RAMP near $29.73, the first option leg uses a $28.24 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RAMP 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 RAMP shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Cash-secured puts on RAMP earn premium while a trader waits to acquire RAMP stock at a target strike below the current quote; most attractive when IV is rich and the trader is comfortable owning RAMP.

RAMP thesis for this cash-secured put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RAMP extends from approximately $24.60 on the downside to $34.86 on the upside. A RAMP cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire RAMP at the strike price; the strategy is most attractive when the trader is comfortable holding the underlying at that level and IV is rich enough to compensate for the assignment risk. Current RAMP IV rank near 49.16% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the cash-secured put thesis on RAMP should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, RAMP options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RAMP-specific events.

RAMP cash-secured put positions are structurally neutral to slightly bullish; 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. RAMP positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RAMP alongside the broader basket even when RAMP-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on RAMP carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical RAMP earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current RAMP chain quotes before placing a trade.
