I have tried logging out then logging in again. But no diff. I think i will have to inform the guys at TOS. :(

I don't have any duplicate IC trades with EEM. The only IC trades with EEM was the one i entered recently. <scratching my head>

That's weird. My horizontal blue line tells me its $14. I must have did something wrong somewhere.

Sell -1 Iron condor EEM 100 15 Dec 17 (32) 50/52/42/40 C/P sell @.07 LMT GTC

Sorry i meant to say i sold 1 lot of options. Will get back soon on the Trade of interest.

Sorry for the confusion. I bought 1 lot of options at credit of 7 cents each so after my order was filled i received $7(7 cents x 100 = $7) in my account. Yes, i am using TOS and yes, i sold an IC for a credit to open and I have not closed the position yet. When i go to the analyse tab in...

I just entered a iron condor trade and received 0.07/share. I bought 100 shares. However, when i go to the iron condor chart of the trade i just put it, it say my potential profit if all 4 legs expire is $14. Why is the credit i received and the potential profit different?

Hi JackRab, thanks for your reply. Care to give an example?

I am new to this strategy and would like to know how maximum loss is calculated when a trade is initiated. I do know maximum profit is the money you get if all four legs expire worthless / without being exercised.

I am new to iron condor, just would like to know what is the costs involved and potential profit when entering a iron condor trade? My understanding is costs involved is the 2 BUY trades, one on the put side and one one the call side. Potential profit is when all 4 legs expires without being...

Does that mean that the profit $ amount which i could potentially earn when all 4 legs expire is given to me first at the time when i enter the trade? Difference being the money given upon trade entry is 'unrealised profit' and is only considered mine to keep after the option time period has...
