Current VIRT snapshot

As of June 29, 2026, spot at $57.89, ATM IV 40.20%, IV rank 73.12%, expected move 11.53%. The iron condor on VIRT 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 81-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on VIRT specifically: VIRT IV at 40.20% is rich versus its 1-year range, which favors premium-selling structures like a VIRT iron condor, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.53% (roughly $6.67 on the underlying). The 81-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated VIRT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay.

VIRT iron condor setup

The VIRT 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 VIRT near $57.89, the first option leg uses a $60.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed VIRT chain at a 81-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 VIRT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Sell 1	Call	$60.00	$3.40
Buy 1	Call	$65.00	$1.75

VIRT thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for VIRT extends from approximately $51.22 on the downside to $64.56 on the upside. A VIRT iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when VIRT 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 VIRT IV rank near 73.12% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on VIRT at 40.20%. As a Financial Services name, VIRT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to VIRT-specific events.

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