What is a iron condor on SEI?

Current SEI snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $78.63, ATM IV 80.10%, IV rank 29.58%, expected move 22.96%. The iron condor on SEI 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 iron condor structure on SEI specifically: SEI IV at 80.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling SEI iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 22.96% (roughly $18.06 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 SEI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SEI should anchor to the underlying notional of $78.63 per share and to the trader's directional view on SEI stock.

SEI iron condor setup

The SEI 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 SEI near $78.63, the first option leg uses a $82.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SEI 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 SEI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

SEI thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SEI extends from approximately $60.57 on the downside to $96.69 on the upside. A SEI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when SEI 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 SEI IV rank near 29.58% 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 SEI at 80.10%. As a Energy name, SEI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SEI-specific events.

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