How are TNGX 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 TNGX butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 61.40%), the computed maximum profit is $75.71 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$112.50 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a TNGX butterfly?

The breakeven for the TNGX butterfly priced on this page is roughly $30.09 and $31.88 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current TNGX market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 17.60%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current TNGX implied volatility affect this butterfly?

Current TNGX snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $31.27, ATM IV 61.40%, IV rank 0.00%, expected move 17.60%. The butterfly on TNGX 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 17-day expiry.

Why this butterfly structure on TNGX specifically: TNGX IV at 61.40% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a TNGX butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 17.60% (roughly $5.50 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TNGX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TNGX should anchor to the underlying notional of $31.27 per share and to the trader's directional view on TNGX stock.

TNGX butterfly setup

The TNGX 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 TNGX near $31.27, the first option leg uses a $30.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TNGX chain at a 17-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 TNGX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 1	Call	$30.00	$2.93
Sell 2	Call	$31.00	$2.05
Buy 1	Call	$33.00	$1.30

When traders use butterfly on TNGX

Butterflies on TNGX are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect TNGX 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.

TNGX thesis for this butterfly

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TNGX extends from approximately $25.77 on the downside to $36.77 on the upside. A TNGX long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if TNGX settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current TNGX IV rank near 0.00% 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 TNGX at 61.40%. As a Healthcare name, TNGX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TNGX-specific events.

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