Take a look at this blogger who claimed he found a "breakeven Iron Condor 0dte strategy", except I don't understand how it's "breakeven" if he sets his stops at 1x the premium he's getting. When stops are hit he must buy back the Iron Condor and pay back the premium he took in, yet he claims to...

I am selling a few ITM calendar spreads on SPX. What sort of time frame do you guys like to use when selling ITM calendar spreads?

It may be a toss up but when you are selling options there is the premium which tilts the odds in your favor. Take a look at this guy's backtesting of SPX option trades. 50/50 + premium: https://www.incomeoptionstrading.com/blog/0-dte-spx-iron-condor-returns

Can you explain or show an example of how to roll an Iron Condor leg(s) when prices move close to the strike price(s)?

How can one make the breakeven points wider on a short strangle?

Please share a setup for SPX using long betterfly or Iron Condor where you are able to get Max loss to 0 or lose to 0. I can get the probability of max loss to 0 but not the Max Loss in $$$ to zero. Also please share a setup where the probability of any profit is greater than 80% using the...

Anyone know a website where there is a more thorough look at this probability distribution, maybe one with a sliding rule that's adjustable for viewing purposes?

That's a condor not a butterfly correct?

I've been looking at the Iron Condor the problem with that is the maximum loss is too high even if you adjust the top part to be wider. I am still trying to lower the long butterfly's maximum profit, can you show me a setup with SPX using long butterfly and a lowered maximum profit with a wider...

Can someone show me a working box spread that they have going right now? How about any box spread that is profitable after fees and commission taken into account? European option preferred. thanks

Watching other people trade gave me some ideas how to trade against them that's how I learned how to trade equity, especially the morning gap-up stocks. I am profitable in my trades but after taxes it is about the same as if I went out and got a full-time job in my line of work.

I am new to options but I just don't like the risk/reward picture. I thought I would like to do box spreads but the commission and fees beats the crap out of that setup. Can any of you recommend a strategy that is very safe with very low return?

day trading something that has a reputation of "picking pennies before a steam roller" won't work in the long run.

Trading options especially day trading options just doesn't work, the risk/reward is abysmal. If I am a long term investor or some kind of swing trader sure maybe that makes sense to throw in a protective put and covered call, otherwise... I can't seem to see the value in day trading options.

How much buying power were you using to get that $500/day?

hello, I am new to this iron condor options trading, I am trying to understand what you've shown here, is it correct to say that you've a daily return of just a bit shy of 1%? If you don't mind me asking, what's your typical monthly return trading iron condor? How about the past years...

Let me rephrase that question: Anyone trades monthly deep-in-the-money calendar spreads ?
