Current SOLS snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $84.84, ATM IV 53.10%, expected move 15.22%. The iron condor on SOLS 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 98-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on SOLS specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for SOLS is inferred from ATM IV at 53.10% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 15.22% (roughly $12.92 on the underlying). The 98-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated SOLS expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on SOLS should anchor to the underlying notional of $84.84 per share and to the trader's directional view on SOLS stock.
SOLS iron condor setup
The SOLS 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 SOLS near $84.84, the first option leg uses a $90.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed SOLS chain at a 98-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 SOLS shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

SOLS thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for SOLS extends from approximately $71.92 on the downside to $97.76 on the upside. A SOLS iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when SOLS 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. As a Basic Materials name, SOLS options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to SOLS-specific events.
SOLS 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. SOLS positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move SOLS alongside the broader basket even when SOLS-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on SOLS carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical SOLS earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current SOLS chain quotes before placing a trade.
