What is the breakeven for a TRP long put?

The breakeven for the TRP long put priced on this page is roughly $66.10 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums.

Current TRP snapshot

As of May 15, 2026, spot at $68.10, ATM IV 20.90%, IV rank 31.99%, expected move 5.99%. The long put on TRP 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 34-day expiry.

Why this long put structure on TRP specifically: TRP IV at 20.90% 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 5.99% (roughly $4.08 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TRP expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TRP should anchor to the underlying notional of $68.10 per share and to the trader's directional view on TRP stock.

TRP long put setup

The TRP long put below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With TRP near $68.10, the first option leg uses a $67.50 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TRP chain at a 34-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 TRP shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)

Long puts on TRP hedge an existing long TRP stock position or express a bearish view with defined risk; position sizing typically scales the put notional to the underlying TRP exposure being hedged.

TRP thesis for this long put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TRP extends from approximately $64.02 on the downside to $72.18 on the upside. A TRP long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long TRP position with one put per 100 shares held. Current TRP IV rank near 31.99% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the long put thesis on TRP should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Energy name, TRP options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TRP-specific events.

TRP long put positions are structurally bearish; 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. TRP positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TRP alongside the broader basket even when TRP-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on TRP 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 TRP chain quotes before placing a trade.
