Backtest storico: come si sarebbe comportata una Iron Butterfly su LVS

Abbiamo simulato in modo approssimativo una Iron Butterfly su LVS 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 LVS — 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

LVS is currently trading with elevated implied volatility, so its options carry richer premiums. On the options we scanned that was around 46% implied volatility, and higher implied volatility means richer premiums and wider expected moves.

Options on LVS currently price in about 46% implied volatility, versus roughly 21% 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 ±$6 (±13%) in LVS by 2026-08-21 — a range of roughly $40,15 to $52,15. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.

Across strikes, downside puts on LVS 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.

In evidenza dalla option chain di LVS: open interest, volume e skew

La option chain live di LVS mostra un rapporto put/call sull'open interest di 1.49 (bearish-leaning (more puts)), con una volatilità implicita at-the-money intorno al 46.7%. L'open interest si concentra sulla call a 47.5 — un classico "muro" di resistenza — e sulla put a 45, un "muro" di supporto: esattamente gli strike a cui gli scrittori di opzioni sono più esposti verso la scadenza.

Liquidity and tradeability

LVS options are reasonably liquid, with bid-ask spreads around 9,4% 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

LVS's next earnings report is due around 22 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 0 days out, LVS's 46% 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.

Dividend and assignment risk

LVS pays a dividend of about 2,4% a year, so short or covered calls on it carry early-assignment risk around each ex-dividend date — in-the-money calls are most exposed just before the stock goes ex-dividend.
