TRI snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $103.50, ATM IV 48.50%, IV rank 59.58%, expected move 13.90%. The iron condor on TRI 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 iron condor structure on TRI specifically: TRI IV at 48.50% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a TRI iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 13.90% (roughly $14.39 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 TRI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TRI should anchor to the underlying notional of $103.50 per share and to the trader's directional view on TRI stock.

TRI iron condor setup

The TRI iron condor 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 TRI at $103.50 on that close, the first option leg uses a $110.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TRI 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 TRI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TRI thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TRI extends from approximately $89.11 on the downside to $117.89 on the upside. A TRI iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when TRI 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 TRI IV rank near 59.58% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on TRI should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Industrials name, TRI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TRI-specific events.

TRI 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. TRI positions also carry Industrials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TRI alongside the broader basket even when TRI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on TRI carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TRI earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TRI chain quotes before placing a trade.
