Podcasts about iron condors

Google is down three dollars on a day when the market is ripping higher. That kind of relative weakness is exactly the setup Jamal looks for before putting on a neutral iron condor trade. The logic: Google has a $26 expected move. The short strikes are placed outside that range on both sides. If the stock just does nothing for the next 29 days, the trade works. Defined risk, limited buying power, and a clear exit plan. A textbook iron condor setup walked through live from strike selection to fill.

In this episode, Eric O'Rourke is joined by Brian Terry from the Conservative Options Income Network (COIN) to break down a recent SPX iron condor trade that caught attention for its unusually wide structure.With volatility elevated and market conditions shifting, Brian walks through how he constructed a 7-day iron condor nearly 600 points wide—while still keeping defined risk and a high probability of success. The discussion covers how iron condors work, why wider strikes can make sense in high VIX environments, and how to think about risk, adjustments, and profit targets.They also dive into:Why Brian targets ~50% profit and exits earlyHow to manage trades when one side gets challengedThe pros and cons of rolling vs. closing one sideUsing iron condors as a “campaign” strategy in volatile marketsThe role of discretion vs. systematic tradingEric also shares how this type of neutral strategy can complement Alpha Crunching systems, especially when bullish setups are paused during bearish market conditions.If you've ever wondered how to trade iron condors in volatile markets—or how to stay active when directional strategies aren't triggering—this episode is packed with practical insights.

Föreställ dig att börsen har haft en kraftig rörelse. Nyheterna har varit dramatiska, kurserna har svängt ordentligt. Men nu börjar marknaden lugna ner sig. Priset rör sig mer sidledes. Det är i ett sådant läge en Iron Condor kan vara en bra strategi. Det är en optionsstrategi där du tjänar pengar på lugnet efter stormen. Men det handlar inte om att gissa, det handlar om att definiera risk och låta tiden arbeta för dig. I dagens avsnitt visar vi steg för steg hur du sätter upp en Iron Condor, vad du ska tänka på - och när du ska avstå.

In this episode, I'm joined by Brian Terry to break down a breakeven iron condor strategy he's actively trading right now.Brian walks through how he enters the call side and put side separately, targeting equal credits on each side with 7 days to expiration. The key twist? He uses a 200% stop on each side, which means if one side gets stopped out, the trade is designed to be roughly breakeven overall.We talk through:Why separating entries can improve flexibilityHow the 200% stop changes the risk profileWhy this works well on SPX, and how newer traders can adapt it to SPY for smaller sizeThe mindset behind trading income strategies defensively, not emotionallyBrian runs the Conservative Options Income Network (COIN) over at https://stockmarketoptionstrading.net, where you can start a 14-day free trial and see his real trades, including the strategy discussed in this episode.If you're interested in structured, rules-based options income strategies, this is a great one to study.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Losing over two hundred thousand dollars while running an 84 percent win rate feels impossible until you realize the math behind iron condors is completely broken. This video takes a deep dive into why strategies that look profitable on paper can quietly drain an account, and why so many traders fall for the high win rate trap without ever understanding the real risk hiding under the hood.In this breakdown, the goal is simple: unpack the danger inside traditional iron condors, evaluate whether higher win rate systems actually solve the problem, and look at a completely different trade structure that claims a 94 percent win rate across more than one hundred twenty live trades. Sounds bold, right? Let's walk through it together and separate hype from reality.One of the biggest takeaways here is how risk to return gets distorted when traders chase high win rates. Collecting a dollar but risking four. Taking profits early to boost win rate but secretly doubling the number of wins needed just to recover from a single loss. These are the kinds of subtle mathematical traps that wipe out traders who never see it coming.The video also digs into a newer structure called the “flag.” It promises a completely different dynamic built around capital efficiency, theta decay and volatility modeling. Whether it lives up to those claims is something worth exploring, especially if you're tired of watching one bad move erase weeks of grinding.Here's what gets covered in today's breakdown:✅ Why iron condors collapse under real market stress✅ How high win rates can mislead traders into negative expectancy✅ Whether the “flag” structure offers a real mathematical edge✅ The truth about theta, Vega and break-even windows✅ What traders should prioritize if they want long-term survivabilityA major theme throughout this discussion is expectancy. If a trade requires eight perfect wins to recover from one loss, it doesn't matter how often you're right. The math will catch up. That's why the conversation shifts from chasing win rates to understanding actual risk efficiency and how quickly a structure decays extrinsic value.There's also an honest talk about the practicality of max profit scenarios. A lot of traders obsess over the theoretical payoff curves without realizing that max value only appears at the literal final seconds of expiration. Most traders never get there because the risk of assignment and intraday volatility becomes unbearable long before the finish line.Toward the end, things pivot into building individualized trading plans. The message is clear: no single strategy fits everyone, and no trader succeeds by copying someone else's system. The goal is to understand what you trade, when you trade and how much you trade, then develop entries and exits rooted in rules you can actually follow.This walkthrough is perfect for anyone who wants deeper insight into probability, expectancy, options structure, and how to avoid the silent traps that blow up accounts. If you're ready to trade smarter with less stress, this breakdown will give you a lot to think about.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

In this episode, I'm walking through an SPX Iron Condor setup I'm pricing out as volatility continues to rise and the market dips below key moving averages.Here's the link the video version: https://youtu.be/0NAAbb6bbcIWhen volatility spikes, option premiums expand — and that's when I like to sell Iron Condors on SPX for wider ranges and better credits. I'll break down:✅ How I'm positioning this Iron Condor between recent highs and lows✅ Entry criteria and credit received (~$3.25 on 10-wide wings)✅ How to calculate max profit and max loss✅ My profit-taking plan (~30%) and adjustment ideas if SPX moves sharply✅ Why higher VIX levels can offer better Iron Condor setupsWhether you're learning to trade index options or refining your Iron Condor strategy, this walkthrough gives you a practical framework to plan your trades in higher volatility environments.

Zero Days to Expiration oder kurz 0DTE Optionen sind eine spezielle Form von Optionskontrakten, die am selben Tag verfallen, an dem sie gehandelt werden. Diese kurzlebigen Derivate haben in den letzten Jahren stark an Popularität gewonnen und machen mittlerweile einen bedeutenden Anteil des Optionshandels aus. Nach über zwei Jahren manuellen und automatisierten 0DTE-Handels ziehe ich im aktuellen CapTrader Cash Call eine Zwischenbilanz. Zuvor drehen wir noch einen kurzen Schlenker über die Versicherungswirtschaft. Als treuer Kunde profitiere ich seit vielen Jahren von den günstigen Preisen, dem riesigen Wertpapierangebot und dem hervorragenden Service von CapTrader. Gemeinsam haben wir daher ein besonderes Paket zur Depoteröffnung geschnürt.

In true Halloween fashion I have a scary SPX trade to show you and a post earnings MSFT iron condor. 

MU Classic Iron Condor collecting 1/3 the widths in credit and a little knowledge drop about dividend risk with options! 

AMAT Classic Iron Condor collecting 1/3 the width of the strikes in credit

NVDA Iron Condor. A defined risk trade with a good probability of success and a high ROC vs risk ratio  

Johnny trade here, low capital risk for the Bat! Iron Condor 50/50 shot with break-even at the recent lows and highs for this stock! 

In the episode, Russ explains the Box Spread options strategy.  This strategy is another 4 -legged options strategy in that it puts two spread trades together.   It is like the Iron Condor options strategy on the credit spread side, but the Box strategy is two debit spreads put together.  Russ discusses the type of interest rate environment to use this strategy in and also shows two examples to bring the strategy to life. 

Like a coin flip we are risking one dollar to make one dollar but with a 67% probability of success! How can that be? Find out how! 

In this episode, I detail a recent Iron Condor trade I ended up rolling up and out due to bullish stock market conditions.I'll explain how I was able to recenter the Iron Condor around the current price without having to add any more risk to the trade. This allowed me to stay in the trade longer so I could profit from time decay.

Defined risk trade with a 33% probability of profit or 64% probability of profit? Give me a chance to explain the "Unbalanced Iron Condor".

15$ wide Iron Condor at 1 standard deviation 

Not one but two trades from the BAT today - a classic "Iron Condor" in TSLA and a bullish "Jade Lizard" in XOM

A double "batterfly" or "Patent pending" double broken winged butterfly - Similar to an "Iron Condor" on the risk graph but this trades on steroids with its big profit potential tent at the short strikes! 

In this episode, we're going to continue our SPX iron condor discussion and research from last week's episode. Last week we talked about placing high probability 0DTE iron condor trades on days when the Alpha Crunching forecast shows low volatility days. Today, we're going to use the same analysis but research selling 3DTE iron condors on Friday's. Selling farther out in time gives you more room for your trade to work out when keeping the rest of the trade the same in terms of strike selection. The strategy discussed in this episode has had a 100% win rate the past 4 months but I'm still considering preliminary research as I have not traded this myself yet.

This week we take a look at the performance of the Monthly Iron Condors ($3k Portfolio) bot template. You might recall that we previously did a deep dive on this template back on Show 214, walking through the strategy setup, the scanner and monitor automation setups, etc. But now that we've had it running for a little over a year, we thought it would be help to take a look at how it has weathered this year's market volatility and explore possible ways to adjust or improve its performance in the future.Important Notes: This podcast is purely for educational purposes and my exploration of this bot template is not a recommendation or suggestion to use this strategy as your own. Bot performance does not includes in commissions, which might vary from account to account or broker to broker. We encourage you to always do your own due diligence, factor in your own personal situations, and trade strategies you are comfortable with in your account.So, let's dive in and look at how this strategy has performed in this year's volatility and explore possible adjustments and future improvements. Ultimately, if nothing else, we hope this example helps give you some ideas to help with your own trading.
