    Three questions regarding selling iron condors

    would never do weekly IC, there isn't enough width to me. would be better to run 1 1/2 month or 1 month in my eyes. just beware ridding the IC eats away from commission HUGE TIME.. it's why I unfortunately usually let them rot to zero near most the time.. I also do this, as to me it's a...
