Weekly Iron Condor Trading Strategy Backtesting Stats

[@sankalpjain1141]

Didn't understood how will the allocation impact the outcome ? At the end of day, total profit/loss per iron condor will remain same

As the strategy allocated more capital it go over-leveraged to the point at which a sequence of a few losing trades crushed the entire strategy. Think about it this way. If you allocate 40% per trade how many times can you afford to lose 40% of your capital in a row?

Thanks Kirk for the clarification

Thanks hope they helped!

Great video, just wondering how often you would hit 100% profit on a 40%+ allocation before you got wiped out?

[@OptionAlpha]

You could certainly run another set of tests to see. Would be interesting to see so we'll add it to the list for another video.

How is this possible🤯.....% should be equal...why higher allocation can't get back after a big drawdown...i don't understand.
