Strategies

Iron Condor
Sell 2026-07-02 $1150.00/$1070.00 put wing and $1310.00/$1390.00 call wing
Credit: $32.96-$40.29
Max loss: $39.71
Max gain: $40.29
BE: 1109.71 / 1350.29
Trigger: Exit at 50% max gain or before earnings to avoid gap.
Captures high IV with defined risk, ideal for backwardation and crush.
Outperforms: Sells put and call wings at key support/resistance, profiting from range-bound movement and IV decline.
Underperforms: Move outside short strikes invalidates range thesis.
Short Strangle
Sell 2026-07-02 $1150.00 put + sell $1310.00 call
Credit: $60.41-$73.84
Max loss: Unlimited
Max gain: $73.84
BE: 1076.16 / 1383.84
Trigger: Set stop-loss at break-even; adjust strikes if levels approach.
Higher premium than iron condor; supported by recent support/resistance levels.
Outperforms: Sells OTM put and call, betting stock stays within range amid elevated IV.
Underperforms: Break outside short strikes invalidates short-vol thesis.
Call Diagonal
Sell 2026-07-02 $1310.00 call / buy 2026-07-31 $1270.00 call
Debit: $77.81-$95.10
Max loss: $95.10
Max gain: Variable
BE: Path-dependent
Trigger: Roll if underlying breaches short strike; take profit on decay.
Exploits front-end volatility decay while maintaining bullish bias.
Outperforms: Sells front-month call, buys later expiration call; benefits from time decay and term structure.
Underperforms: Loss of support or adverse vol term shift weakens thesis.
Long strangle
Buy 2026-07-10 $1170.00 put + buy $1250.00 call
Debit: $129.22-$157.93
Max loss: $157.93
Max gain: Unlimited
BE: 1012.07 / 1407.93
Elevated IV and deep OTM put hedging suggest uncertainty; strangle benefits from post-earnings price expansion.
Outperforms: Buy cheap volatility hedge ahead of earnings to capture large move in either direction.
Underperforms: Insufficient realized move reduces long-strangle edge.

How to Use These Reports
This earnings reflects the market close on June 25, 2026.
What the reports do

Each report translates the same market-close options snapshot into a specific lens such as directional bias, premium-selling posture, flow quality, or earnings setup.

How traders use them

Reports are most useful for narrowing the playbook, surfacing entry and risk context, and deciding which raw data page to inspect next.

What to remember

These are interpretation layers, not execution guarantees. Validate the setup against chain liquidity, expected move, and exposure before sizing risk.

If the report conviction and the raw data disagree, slow down and resolve the mismatch before sizing risk.
