Current RTX snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $188.97, ATM IV 32.82%, IV rank 70.85%, expected move 9.41%. The iron condor on RTX 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 31-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on RTX specifically: RTX IV at 32.82% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a RTX iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.41% (roughly $17.78 on the underlying). The 31-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated RTX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RTX should anchor to the underlying notional of $188.97 per share and to the trader's directional view on RTX stock.

RTX iron condor setup

The RTX 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 RTX near $188.97, the first option leg uses a $200.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RTX chain at a 31-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 RTX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Sell 1	Call	$200.00	$3.33
Buy 1	Call	$210.00	$1.24
Sell 1	Put	$180.00	$3.47
Buy 1	Put	$170.00	$1.50

RTX thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RTX extends from approximately $171.19 on the downside to $206.75 on the upside. A RTX iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when RTX 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 RTX IV rank near 70.85% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on RTX at 32.82%. As a Industrials name, RTX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RTX-specific events.

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