What is a butterfly on XPOF?
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 XPOF snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $4.83, ATM IV 122.30%, IV rank 23.37%, expected move 23.09%. The butterfly on XPOF 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 XPOF specifically: XPOF IV at 122.30% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a XPOF butterfly, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 23.09% (roughly $1.12 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 XPOF expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on XPOF should anchor to the underlying notional of $4.83 per share and to the trader's directional view on XPOF stock.
XPOF butterfly setup
The XPOF 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 XPOF near $4.83, the first option leg uses a $4.59 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed XPOF 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 XPOF shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use butterfly on XPOF
Butterflies on XPOF are pinning bets - traders use them when they expect XPOF 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.
XPOF thesis for this butterfly
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for XPOF extends from approximately $3.71 on the downside to $5.95 on the upside. A XPOF long call butterfly is a pinning play: it pays maximum at the middle strike if XPOF settles there at expiration, with the wing legs capping both the cost and the maximum loss to the net debit. Current XPOF IV rank near 23.37% 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 XPOF at 122.30%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, XPOF options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to XPOF-specific events.
XPOF 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. XPOF positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move XPOF alongside the broader basket even when XPOF-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current XPOF chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a butterfly on XPOF?
- A butterfly on XPOF is the butterfly strategy applied to XPOF (stock). The strategy is structurally neutral / pin (limited-risk, limited-reward): 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. With XPOF stock trading near $4.83, the strikes shown on this page are snapped to the nearest listed XPOF chain strike and the premiums come straight from the end-of-day bid/ask midpoint.
- How are XPOF butterfly max profit and max loss calculated?
- Max profit equals the wing width minus net debit times 100 (reached when the underlying pins the middle strike); max loss equals the net debit times 100. Two breakevens at lower-wing plus debit and upper-wing minus debit. For the XPOF butterfly priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 122.30%), the computed maximum profit is unbounded per contract and the computed maximum loss is unbounded per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.
- What is the breakeven for a XPOF butterfly?
- The breakeven for the XPOF 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 XPOF market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 23.09%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.
