How are TD collar max profit and max loss calculated?

Max profit roughly equals short-call strike minus cost basis plus net premium; max loss roughly equals cost basis minus long-put strike minus net premium. Breakeven shifts by the net premium. For the TD collar priced from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 19.50%), the computed maximum profit is $552.50 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$447.50 per contract.

What is the breakeven for a TD collar?

The breakeven for the TD collar priced on this page is roughly $124.48 at expiration, derived from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain's premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The TD market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move in the same options snapshot is approximately 5.59%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

TD snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $123.90, ATM IV 19.50%, IV rank 9.44%, expected move 5.59%. The collar on TD below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.

Why this collar structure on TD specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed TD IV at 19.50% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 5.59% (roughly $6.93 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TD expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TD should anchor to the underlying notional of $123.90 per share and to the trader's directional view on TD stock.

TD collar setup

The TD collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TD at $123.90 on that close, the first option leg uses a $130.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TD chain at a 35-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 TD shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$123.90	long
Sell 1	Call	$130.00	$0.95
Buy 1	Put	$120.00	$1.53

When traders use collar on TD

Collars on TD hedge an existing long TD stock position; the long put sets a floor while the short call finances it, often run as a near-zero-cost hedge during expected volatility windows.

TD thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TD extends from approximately $116.97 on the downside to $130.83 on the upside. A TD collar hedges an existing long TD 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 TD IV rank near 9.44% 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 TD at 19.50%. As a Financial Services name, TD options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TD-specific events.

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