New Super Iron Condor Option Strategy

[@guttybruin]

This is by far one of Henry’s best videos in my opinion, especially the first half. The only thing I differ on is leaving spreads open through expiration. If I can help it I always close spreads prior to expiration. No matter what. Excellent video, Henry!

Why you close speads always before expiration? To unwind potential tailrisk?

The perfect explanation of an iron condor. Loved, loved how you added fear and emotion to the mix of options trading. So many people have that. I have learned from watching your videos, other videos, time after time, and explaining how you can’t let emotions dictate your moves in options trading. Being patient and letting them ride. Thanks Henry.Excellent As usual.

I began investing at the age of 33, primarily utilizing my hard work and dedication. Now at the age of 38, I am delighted to share that my passive income exceeded $100k for the first time in a single month. This advice is truly valuable, so don't hesitate to take action. Remember, it's not about achieving wealth quickly, but rather about building wealth consistently and persistently.

Great video. But isn't it recommended to manage a 30 DTE short Iron Condor after 7 days rather than letting it expire worthless? If you're up 50% after 7 days you could close the option thereby limiting your exposure to Vega?

[@AString95]

If I’m up 50% in a week I’m definitely closing. But typically it takes a longer for that to happen unless you get a nice decline in implied volatility.

Henry, I have watched so many of your videos, thank you for the help. I set up an iron condor for AA, meant to do AAL as per your videos, my bad, and I got put 100 shares of stock, really threw me for a loop. Obviously a bad iron condor from the start. Thanks for all you do. I will keep learning from you.

I would not look at where the price is in relation to the bollinger band, but the overall width of the band. If you sell an iron condor during a volatility squeeze (and the price is 'in the middle of the band'), look out.

Any suggestions on how to turn this off or a platform that doesn't eat at my profits?

[@tjallen124]

Hey Henry. Love your videos. Couple quick questions for you. 1. When you are looking at the bollinger bands in Yahoo Finance, you match the time period to the days to expiration, correct? If you are looking a 7DTE option, you would select 5D time frame in Yahoo and if you were looking at a 30DTE option, you would select the 1M time period in Yahoo, right? 2. When you were showing the example of the AMZN Iron Condor and calculating the return, you initially said it would be a 22.6% return ($113 earned premium/$500 cash outlay) but then later you said it would be close to a 30% return ($113/$387). But wouldn't the return be the first scenario because you need to secure $500 to get the $113? Just making sure I'm calculating the return correctly? Thanks again for all your 🔥 videos.

Henry, love your videos, learning so much while getting started on my options journey. I'm having issues with strategies like this because I opened a Robinhood account years ago and never used it, so when I started trading I didn't have tier 3 options access. Now they won't grant me access. If we can't use your link for a new Robinhood account to get tier 3 access, are there any tips for getting access? I would really like to be able to implement iron condor and credit spreads into my portfolio. Thank you

[@bunkerman99]

That's odd. I had no trouble. Curious as to your account size (not asking btw) and if that is not the issue try a different broker.

[@panthertrain1984]

Hey, so on the surface it seems like it’s a good strategy, but I went back and did analysis for the last year doing this strategy on a monthly basis and it seemed like over time, you technically “won” more trades, but the problem is the very few losers you would have had would have been massive dollar amounts so you end up losing money. In other words, picking up pennies in front of a freight train. You will nab some pennies but sooner or later that freight train is going to get closer and closer until it hits you and wipes out all your small gains.

[@EvanEvansE3]

Why on Robinhood does it say $1.13 credit but Max Profit $1.50?

[@realestate_sc]

The credit is what you get today. The profit is the value on the day of expiration. On expiration all your positions get executed, they're a bit leaner meat in the strike prices on the expiration. If this makes any sense.

Sorry, I missed the "New super" IC strategy part? Seems like a regular IC to me lol!

[@markparkinson7793]

I don't quite understand. I'm getting the terminology wrong I guess. Precent return doesn't really apply to an iron condor because you are not actually spending in any money up front. After all is said and done your broker is giving You money to run an iron condor. You risk some money if things turn sour but you have capped the amount you can lose, but you don't actually have to spend any money to set up an iron condor, (unless you count the trading fees). I guess it is smart to have that at risk money set aside in the account (probably required isn't it) but unless the price goes beyond your risk limits no cash comes out of your pockets ( or trading account balance in this case). In an account like webull who pays 5% return on the cash in your account, an iron condor is a way for you to get even more money from the broker for having your cash in their bank. So if I understand it right you can increase that 5% per year by how many times you cansuccessfully run an iron condor in your account. Am I right?

[@nikhilnagraj404]

Why is max profit $150 but total credit only $1.13? Shouldnt these 2 be the same, given that max profit will be the credit taken if NFLX stays within these bands? Reference - 5:25

[@realestate_sc]

The credit is what you get now after the execution. The Profit estimate is the result on expiration. On expiration you have little discrepancy with the strike prices between the spreads.

Two things. 1. How much money does one have to have in their account to be able to make these kinds of trades? You are showing $24k buying power in the video. I'd like to know the exact amount. 2. Beringer bands. I am missing any kind of "thinking" on the bands and the target strike prices. Like, is a wide band what to look for? Or a tight band? Or, is that not really important? For instance, should only the fact the price is somewhere in the middle, is what is important at all?

[@enricosaccheggiani3192]

Doing so achieves nothing; what you gain is exactly what you risk losing. If not all traders on Wall Street would do this, the market adjusts prices so that there is no gain in writing the position. It can go right or wrong, if you are not careful to do it when the implied volatility is high you lose money .

[@billcampbell9060]

Another charlatan making more money doing videos than by investing. Almost comically, the example he uses would a perennial loser. With deltas of .21 and .12 on the short legs, there would be a 33% chance of expiring ITM and a 67% chance of expiring OTM. So in two out of three months he would make $300 total ($150 twice) and in one month of the three he'd lose $350, for a consistent loss. (Ignoring ending partly ITM or closing early, which aren't preferred outcomes and would reduce your profit)

[@realestate_sc]

I agree. I was calculating the same. On the same boat, really digging into these things and noticing lack of explanation of the reality of these trades. If these were at least weekly, one could actually get a better scene of the stocks defined range. If you have any channels you found more helpful let me know, always trying to learn more.

You definitely don’t need the b bands it’s useless. Just look at the delta in the options chain. Usually delta 20 on each side gives you decent results. Implied volatility isn’t that important only around earnings. The reason is you selling one and buying one. I still don’t know how this is anything but a basic text book iron condor. I hope people don’t pay any money for this type of information and did this guy actually work for gs? I would have to see it to believe it.
