Historical backtest: how a Iron Condor on RGNX would have performed
We approximated a Iron Condor on RGNX, entered repeatedly over the past year (92 historical entries, each held to expiration) with Black-Scholes-modelled entry premiums. Here is how that would have played out on real RGNX price history — an educational backtest, not a prediction of future returns.
Approximate: entry premiums are modelled with Black-Scholes from trailing realised volatility, held to expiration and settled against the real historical close. Real fills, implied volatility and slippage differ — treat it as directional context, not exact returns.
Implied volatility
RGNX is currently trading with high implied volatility, which makes its options expensive — and attractive to sell. On the options we scanned that was around 121% implied volatility, and higher implied volatility means richer premiums and wider expected moves.
Options on RGNX currently price in about 121% implied volatility, versus roughly 84% the stock has actually realised over the past month. That makes options relatively expensive — an edge for strategies that sell premium, such as credit spreads and iron condors.
RGNX's IV Rank is 57/100: implied volatility sits 57% of the way between its 16-day low (82%) and high (151%), and is above 41% of recorded days. Premium sits around its usual level for this stock.
Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$3.93 (±37%) in RGNX by 2026-09-18 — a range of roughly $6.68 to $14.54. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.
Across strikes, downside puts on RGNX trade at a higher implied volatility than upside calls — the market is paying up for crash protection. That skew favours selling put spreads or buying calls over symmetric trades.
RGNX options chain highlights: open interest, volume and skew
The live RGNX options chain shows a put/call open-interest ratio of 0.54 (bullish-leaning (more calls)), with at-the-money implied volatility near 153.7%. Open interest clusters at the $12 call — a common resistance "wall" — and the $10 put, a support "wall": the strikes option writers are most exposed to into expiration.

RGNX insider trading activity (SEC Form 4)
Open-market insider transactions at RGNX over roughly the last six months, from SEC Form 4 filings. Open-market buys are the rarer, more telling signal — routine selling under pre-arranged plans is common, so read a net-selling figure with that in mind.

Earnings & IV crush
RGNX's next earnings report is due around November 5, 2026. Options that expire after it price in a binary move, so their implied volatility is elevated and usually collapses right after the announcement — an "IV crush". If your expiration falls before this date, the trade sidesteps the event.
