So based on the data, Iron condors would have gotten rinsed here. Thank god I learned my lesson. In a volatile market, Iron condors are not a smart idea. Today, I went back to what I used to do which is wait until a setup is good. When price kept pushing in the morning, I … Read more

So I did my Iron Condor Trade and sold it at the strikes for EM times 2 for the levels at 6:25. I sold an iron condor at 7460|7450(put) and 7615|7625(call) for $0.55. Looking to close one at $0.10 and let the other one expire worthless. These ended up expiring worthless.
This is Day 5 of Trading with the iron condor trade. I posted a screenshot of how I’m choosing my strikes. The expected move must be lower at 6:31 AM PST than the one at 6:25 if it isn’t we don’t do the IC Trade. I sold 2 Iron Condors at 7520|7510 and 7645|7655 for … Read more
