Iron Condor on $QQQ Pay up Mr. Market!

21 May 2019

Finally in a delta neutral trade (slight bias), or least close to one since early January.

This is an interesting strategy because it really is maintenance free - and essentially all that needs to happen is for the market to do it's thing and not have any outlier activity in this time frame.

Keeping position sizes modes consistently should yield a consistent stable of winners.

Will be entering these strategies more on high implied volatility companies - TSLA, and APPL could be alternative options as well.

Theta is high --- but compared to my TSLA Short Credit Strangle --- Come'on the strangle is multiples higher.
The Pop on this trade is 62% vs a 72% probability of profit on the TSLA trade.

On 7/1 this trade would have earned $85 per contract in theta in the most ideal case scenario - which also happens to have the highest probability of occurring.

If the underly goes to $207.16 we will lose the max amount of $214 per contract
If the underly goes up to $191.16 we will yield a profit of $19 per contract
**If the underlying goes to 178.16 we will yield a profit of $85 per contract**
If the underlying goes to $167.16 we will yield a profit of $20 per contract
If the underlying goes to $155.16 we will lose the max amount of $114 a per contract
