Current TXG snapshot
As of June 29, 2026, spot at $37.06, ATM IV 87.50%, IV rank 43.98%, expected move 25.09%. The iron condor on TXG 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 18-day expiry.
Why this iron condor structure on TXG specifically: TXG IV at 87.50% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a TXG iron condor sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 25.09% (roughly $9.30 on the underlying). The 18-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated TXG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TXG should anchor to the underlying notional of $37.06 per share and to the trader's directional view on TXG stock.
TXG iron condor setup
The TXG 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 TXG near $37.06, the first option leg uses a $38.91 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TXG chain at a 18-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 TXG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TXG thesis for this iron condor
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TXG extends from approximately $27.76 on the downside to $46.36 on the upside. A TXG iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when TXG 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 TXG IV rank near 43.98% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the iron condor thesis on TXG should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Healthcare name, TXG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TXG-specific events.
TXG 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. TXG positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TXG alongside the broader basket even when TXG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a iron condor on TXG carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TXG earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TXG chain quotes before placing a trade.
