How are RVMD 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 RVMD butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 63.90%), the computed maximum profit is $309.58 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$130.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

Current RVMD snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $145.12, ATM IV 63.90%, IV rank 31.69%, expected move 18.32%. The butterfly on RVMD 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 butterfly structure on RVMD specifically: RVMD IV at 63.90% 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 18.32% (roughly $26.59 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 RVMD expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RVMD should anchor to the underlying notional of $145.12 per share and to the trader's directional view on RVMD stock.

RVMD butterfly setup

The RVMD 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 RVMD near $145.12, the first option leg uses a $140.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RVMD 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 RVMD shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Buy 1	Call	$140.00	$13.75
Sell 2	Call	$145.00	$11.15

When traders use butterfly on RVMD

Butterflies on RVMD are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect RVMD to settle near a specific level at expiration (often the prior close, a round number, or the max-pain strike) and want defined-risk exposure to that outcome.

RVMD thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RVMD extends from approximately $118.53 on the downside to $171.71 on the upside. A RVMD long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if RVMD settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current RVMD IV rank near 31.69% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the butterfly thesis on RVMD should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, RVMD options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RVMD-specific events.

RVMD 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. RVMD positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RVMD alongside the broader basket even when RVMD-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RVMD chain quotes before placing a trade.
