WOLF snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $31.57, ATM IV 121.64%, IV rank 18.87%, expected move 34.87%. The iron condor on WOLF 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 28-day expiry.

Why this iron condor structure on WOLF specifically: WOLF IV at 121.64% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling WOLF iron condor collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 34.87% (roughly $11.01 on the underlying). The 28-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated WOLF expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on WOLF should anchor to the underlying notional of $31.57 per share and to the trader's directional view on WOLF stock.

WOLF iron condor setup

The WOLF 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 WOLF at $31.57 on that close, the first option leg uses a $33.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed WOLF chain at a 28-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 WOLF shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

WOLF thesis for this iron condor

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for WOLF extends from approximately $20.56 on the downside to $42.58 on the upside. A WOLF iron condor is a delta-neutral premium-collection structure that pays off when WOLF 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 WOLF IV rank near 18.87% 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 WOLF at 121.64%. As a Technology name, WOLF options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to WOLF-specific events.

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