TONX snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $2.71, ATM IV 161.50%, IV rank 30.16%, expected move 46.30%. The long call on TONX below is built from the 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 long call structure on TONX specifically: TONX IV at 161.50% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so strategy selection should anchor more to the directional thesis than to the IV regime, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 46.30% (roughly $1.25 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 TONX expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TONX should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.71 per share and to the trader's directional view on TONX stock.
TONX long call setup
The TONX long call below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TONX at $2.71 on that close, the first option leg uses a $2.71 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TONX 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 TONX shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TONX thesis for this long call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TONX extends from approximately $1.46 on the downside to $3.96 on the upside. A TONX long call expresses a directional view that the underlying closes above the strike plus premium at expiration, ideally with implied volatility holding or expanding to preserve extrinsic value through the hold period. Current TONX IV rank near 30.16% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long call thesis on TONX should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Technology name, TONX options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TONX-specific events.
TONX long call positions are structurally bullish; 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. TONX positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TONX alongside the broader basket even when TONX-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long call on TONX are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current TONX chain quotes before placing a trade.
