Backtest storico: come si sarebbe comportata una Iron Condor su ALNY
Abbiamo simulato in modo approssimativo una Iron Condor su ALNY che avresti aperto ripetutamente nell'ultimo anno (93 ingressi storici, ciascuno mantenuto fino alla scadenza), con i premi d'ingresso modellati tramite Black-Scholes. Ecco come sarebbe andata sulla reale storia dei prezzi di ALNY — un backtest didattico, non una previsione dei rendimenti futuri.
In via approssimativa: i premi d'ingresso sono modellati con Black-Scholes sulla base della volatilità realizzata trailing, mantenuti fino alla scadenza e regolati contro il reale prezzo di chiusura storico. Fill reali, volatilità implicita e slippage differiscono — consideralo come contesto indicativo, non come rendimento esatto.
Implied volatility
ALNY is currently trading with high implied volatility, which makes its options expensive — and attractive to sell. On the options we scanned that was around 58% implied volatility, and higher implied volatility means richer premiums and wider expected moves.
Options on ALNY currently price in about 58% implied volatility, versus roughly 37% 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.
Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$43,44 (±16%) in ALNY by 2026-08-21 — a range of roughly $221 to $308. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.
Across strikes, puts and calls on ALNY carry a fairly symmetric implied volatility — no strong directional fear is priced in either way.
In evidenza dalla option chain di ALNY: open interest, volume e skew
La option chain live di ALNY mostra un rapporto put/call sull'open interest di 0.79 (balanced), con una volatilità implicita at-the-money intorno al 58.8%. L'open interest si concentra sulla call a 280 — un classico "muro" di resistenza — e sulla put a 260, un "muro" di supporto: esattamente gli strike a cui gli scrittori di opzioni sono più esposti verso la scadenza.

Liquidity and tradeability
ALNY options are reasonably liquid, with bid-ask spreads around 13,5% near the money. Defined-risk spreads and condors are workable; use limit orders and watch the fill on wider multi-leg trades.
Earnings & IV crush
ALNY's next earnings report is due around 30 luglio 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.
With earnings roughly 8 days out, ALNY's 58% implied volatility is inflated by event premium — and it usually collapses the moment results drop ("IV crush"). That rewards defined-risk premium sellers when the move stays muted, and punishes option buyers who paid the inflated price. Keep size small and risk defined through the report.
