In DELL consider selling the August 21, 2026 Expiration (21AUG26) Expiration 380-510 Iron Condor for about $2.00 mid price with stock around $441

Minimum $1.90 with mid around $2.00
Technicals: Straddle is $45.75(IV Move on TOS is $46.76 ) and strikes are $61 to the downside and $69 to the upside. The Average True Range is $33.93
Risk: The total risk of the trade is defined by the distance between your long and short strike of your spread ($10) minus the amount of money that you sold the Iron Condor for. For this spread we are getting around $2.00 so our risk is $8.00
Reward: Our reward will be maxed out if the stock stays between our two short strikes and will be equal to the amount you sold the condor for. Maximum reward would be $2.00
Adjustments: Our upside morph will be executed only when the stock has broken up above our upside resistance line and commences a technical breakout. Our downside morph will be executed only when the stock has broken down below our downside support line and commences a technical breakdown.
***Trade Management: For those wanting to reduce their risk sooner, these levels can be used as breakouts for an early morph:
Upside early morph levels that can be considered: $485.7(8/5 H) with the stock moving higher
Downside early morph levels that can be considered : $405.37(7/31 Low) with the stock moving lower
