What is a butterfly on TTAM?
A long call butterfly buys one lower-strike call, sells two ATM calls, and buys one higher-strike call, paying a small net debit for a defined-risk position that maxes out if the underlying pins the middle strike at expiration.
Current TTAM snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $15.80, ATM IV 67.00%, IV rank 20.51%, expected move 19.21%. The butterfly on TTAM 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 butterfly structure on TTAM specifically: TTAM IV at 67.00% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a TTAM butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 19.21% (roughly $3.03 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 TTAM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TTAM should anchor to the underlying notional of $15.80 per share and to the trader's directional view on TTAM stock.
TTAM butterfly setup
The TTAM 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 TTAM near $15.80, the first option leg uses a $15.01 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TTAM 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 TTAM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on TTAM
Butterflies on TTAM are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect TTAM 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.
TTAM thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TTAM extends from approximately $12.77 on the downside to $18.83 on the upside. A TTAM long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if TTAM settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current TTAM IV rank near 20.51% 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 TTAM at 67.00%. As a Basic Materials name, TTAM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TTAM-specific events.
TTAM 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. TTAM positions also carry Basic Materials sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TTAM alongside the broader basket even when TTAM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current TTAM chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on TTAM?

With TTAM stock trading near $15.80, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed TTAM chain strike and the premiums come straight from the end-of-day bid/ask midpoint.
- How are TTAM butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?

Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a TTAM butterfly?
- The breakeven for the TTAM butterfly priced on this page is no defined breakeven on the modeled curve 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 TTAM market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 19.21%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
