Confidence is rule-based (not ML). Thresholds with ORATS VRP data:
Strategy ranking uses signal, regime (RV Ratio), skew, and earnings proximity. Without liquidity data, signal confidence may be overstated for illiquid names.
Based on current conditions (weak signal, RV Ratio 0.92), VolRadar ranks Short Strangle as the top strategy for Expand Energy. ~$2.28 (bid) to $2.67 (mid) Alternative: Short Put for undefined risk preference.
Max profit on a credit spread equals the net credit received. For example, if you sell a EXE put for $3.00 and buy a lower put for $1.00, your max profit is $2.00 per share ($200 per contract). The breakeven equals the short strike minus net credit. Use the calculator to model exact scenarios with EXE's current price of $103.56.
In current conditions, defined-risk strategies like put spreads or iron condors are recommended for EXE as they limit downside while still capturing the available premium.
18 preset strategies are available: Short Put, Covered Call, Put Credit Spread, Bear Call Spread, Iron Condor, Short Strangle, Iron Butterfly, Broken Wing Butterfly, Calendar Spread, Short Straddle, Jade Lizard, Poor Man's Covered Call, Long Call, Long Put, Bull Call Spread, Bear Put Spread, Protective Put, and Collar. Plus a custom multi-leg builder for any combination up to 4 legs with optional share positions. Each strategy shows max profit, max loss, breakeven, and probability of profit for Expand Energy's current price.
Liquidity determines whether theoretical premium translates into real returns. For Expand Energy, check bid-ask spreads, open interest, and daily volume on your target strikes before entering. Wide spreads (over 10-15% of the premium) reduce your actual credit and make adjustments harder. Multi-leg strategies like iron condors are especially sensitive — each leg's spread compounds. Start with the most liquid strikes and expirations, and always use limit orders.
Return on Capital (RoC) = net credit / capital at risk. For a EXE cash-secured put at $98, RoC depends on the premium vs the full strike x 100 collateral. For spreads, RoC = credit / (spread width x 100 - credit). Higher IV environments produce better RoC. Use the calculator with EXE's current price to model exact returns.
