Current TOL snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $164.50, ATM IV 34.10%, IV rank 21.05%, expected move 9.78%. The iron condor on TOL 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 iron condor structure on TOL specifically: TOL IV at 34.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling TOL iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.78% (roughly $16.08 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 TOL expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TOL should anchor to the underlying notional of $164.50 per share and to the trader's directional view on TOL stock.
TOL iron condor setup
The TOL 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 TOL near $164.50, the first option leg uses a $175.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TOL 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 TOL shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TOL thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TOL extends from approximately $148.42 on the downside to $180.58 on the upside. A TOL iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when TOL 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 TOL IV rank near 21.05% 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 TOL at 34.10%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, TOL options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TOL-specific events.
TOL 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. TOL positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TOL alongside the broader basket even when TOL-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on TOL carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TOL earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TOL chain quotes before placing a trade.
