CHRD
Stock and Options Trade Setup — Chord Energy Corporation
Nasdaq · Energy (Oil & Gas E&P — Williston Basin) · High-liquidity options · Mid-large cap · ~$8B
Chord Energy is a uniquely positioned Bakken pure-play: the Whiting + Oasis + Enerplus combination created the largest acreage holder in the basin with industry-leading drilling efficiency and a multi-decade inventory of Tier 1 locations. Capital allocation is unusually disciplined for an E&P — Chord generates substantial free cash flow that is returned via base dividend + variable dividend (paid quarterly based on FCF) + opportunistic share buybacks. The Enerplus acquisition added inventory and operational synergies of $150M+/year that are still flowing through earnings. Breakeven oil price is among the lowest in U.S. E&P (~$45 WTI for full capital programme), providing defensive characteristics in oil weakness while preserving substantial upside in stronger oil environments. Risk profile remains tied to oil prices, but the FCF-return framework limits downside vs typical E&P names. Options are highly liquid with elevated IVR — short-dated and earnings-driven setups have been productive given the oil-price sensitivity.

CHRD Options Setup — Frequently Asked Questions
Is CHRD a good options trade today?+
Chord Energy Corporation (CHRD) currently has an Amora Edge Score of 76/100, ranking it top 25%. This composite score is built from four sub-signals — EMA cross, RSI zone, relative strength vs SPY, and volume surge — each scored 0–25. The current read is a bullish setup, so the algorithm is positioned cautious (smaller size or wait for confirmation). A score above 65 typically warrants a trade card with stop and target; below that, the setup is on the watchlist but not actionable.
What is CHRD's win rate on Stoptions.ai setups?+
CHRD's historical win rate on closed Stoptions setups is 33%. Win rate is calculated as the percentage of past CHRD trade cards that hit their target price before stopping out. Win rate is most meaningful once a ticker has 10+ closed trades — individual ticker rates can be noisy at smaller samples. Our portfolio-wide win rate across all closed trades is the more stable benchmark.
What strike and expiry does Stoptions.ai suggest for CHRD?+
The strike and expiry are shown on the trade card at the top of this page when the setup is active. Stoptions.ai algorithmically selects strikes targeting delta 0.35–0.45 and expirations 30–45 days out, adjusted for current implied volatility rank (IVR). When IVR is high, the system favors call debit spreads to limit vega risk; when IVR is low, single-leg long calls are preferred. The card includes the contract symbol, mid-price entry, stop, and target.
How often is the CHRD setup updated?+
Every 72 hours we refresh CHRD's Amora Edge Score and trade card. The underlying scan runs daily at 9:00 AM ET (pre-market) and 9:30 AM ET (post-open), so any new signal change is reflected within one trading session. If CHRD drops below the entry threshold or the regime shifts (e.g., SPY enters a confirmed bear), the trade card is replaced with a "no setup" notice automatically.
What does the Amora Edge Score measure for CHRD?+
The Amora Edge Score is a 0–100 composite of four technical sub-signals applied to CHRD: (1) EMA cross — is the 20-day above the 50-day with both trending up? (2) RSI zone — is momentum in the 50–70 sweet spot, or extended/weak? (3) Relative strength vs SPY — is CHRD outperforming the market over 20 sessions? (4) Volume surge — is participation above the 20-day average? Each sub-signal contributes 0–25 points. CHRD currently scores 76.
How does CHRD compare to other Energy (Oil & Gas E&P — Williston Basin) setups?+
CHRD's sector rank and percentile against other Energy (Oil & Gas E&P — Williston Basin) tickers we track is shown on the /tickers index — sortable by Amora Edge Score, win rate, or sector. For direct comparison, see the "Related Energy (Oil & Gas E&P — Williston Basin) Options Setups" panel above. When multiple tickers in the same sector are scoring 80+, the algorithm flags the cluster as a sector rotation signal and may upweight position sizing.
