With the Buy 930 CALLs, and Sell 920 CALLs. Your selling Iron Comdors. Short vs. Long.

This does not look like an Iron Condor to me. Looks more like an Long Put Condor. Long Put Condors will result in a debit, (unless legged). Why is the 930 put less than the 920 put.

Not the End of Story. The concept of Rolling Up and Out is a simple one.

Those that say "Covered calls limit your upside", ... don't know what their talking about.

Yes as time goes by the option decline. The Jan. 60s for 2012 are more because they have more time, thus more time value. Unwind the position. Buy to close the option and sell the underlying. Free Shareware calculator??? No. The program will do the calculations for over 40...

If you want to exit the position early, you would have to Buy to Close the 60s, a gain or loss will depend on what the cost to close is vs the sell to open. You can always unwind the position. The attached shows the results from a Buy-Write calculator I use based on prices today. I ran the...

So the selling of puts in the study out performs the writing coverd calls. Well it had better!! The question is NOT, what out performs what. A successful trader of futures had better out perform the successful trader of equities. The day trader in stocks should out perform the...

I put most of my emphasis on the underlying, but I do keep in mind what the overall market sentiment is and the current OverBot or OverSold short term condition.

Yes, I would have to agree. The Greeks are very accurate in predicting the past.

For me the bottom line is what do I expect the underlying to do. Then look at the stretegies that fits the expectation. Then which one offers the best risk v. reward. Forget the Greeks!!

There are: Long Call Butterfly Long Call Condor Short Call Butterfly Short Call Condor Long Put Butterfly Long Put Condor Short Put Butterfly Short Put Butterfly And the LONG and short Butterfly & Condor. Each have their place. Provide an example underlying and I can run it...
