What is a collar on REAX?
A collar pairs long stock with a protective out-of-the-money put financed by a short out-of-the-money call, capping both tails of the position around the current spot.
Current REAX snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $1.71, ATM IV 20.60%, IV rank 0.04%, expected move 5.91%. The collar on REAX 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 collar structure on REAX specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed REAX IV at 20.60% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.91% (roughly $0.10 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 REAX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on REAX should anchor to the underlying notional of $1.71 per share and to the trader's directional view on REAX stock.
REAX collar setup
The REAX collar below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With REAX near $1.71, the first option leg uses a $1.80 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed REAX 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 REAX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $1.71 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $1.80 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $1.62 | N/A |

REAX thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for REAX extends from approximately $1.61 on the downside to $1.81 on the upside. A REAX collar hedges an existing long REAX position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. Current REAX IV rank near 0.04% 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 REAX at 20.60%. As a Real Estate name, REAX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to REAX-specific events.
REAX collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); 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. REAX positions also carry Real Estate sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move REAX alongside the broader basket even when REAX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current REAX chain quotes before placing a trade.
