      Unbelievable results!! This has been an incredible experience from day one with mr Charles @Charles_forex09 at InSTA.. This wasn't my first time trading but honestly I didn’t know what to expect when I first joined. After much loss. God walked me through the entire process from start to finish, which was a HUGE plus! They made the entire process so easy and hassle-free! I’m very impressed! Go to him @Charles_forex09 I will definitely be referring him to you all....i

      I got introduced to alexander_weber_bitcoin on instagram almost 4 months ago, ever since then i've made so much profit trading with him, he is experienced and his got few tricks too, but whatever strategy or technique he uses it's yielding amazing results, it's been wonderful and also beneficial as i'm now trading over 2btc with the hope of making more profits. He's got a nice personality and he's very reliable also.

    As a newbie, I've watched A LOT of videos, listened to plenty of podcasts, and read a fair amount of online content about various options strategies. This video is the most elegant explanation of an Iron Condor I've seen. It also revealed for me the basic point that drawing the profit and loss diagram of any trade is super helpful in keeping it straight in my head as a soon-to-be new trader. Just wanted to say thanks!

    Been trading options for 40 years and all I ever did was just gamble by buying just a straight call or straight put. Never did any hedging. And yes sometimes I got some good winners with that but most of the time one loses. Now I never heard of an Iron Condor till today and watched your video on it. Have to say you did an excellent presentation and I totally understand the concept and I think in the long term playing it safe for small profits instead of going for the home run wins the game.

      Thank you. The inverted strangle generates lucrative returns for currency future options EURUSD only.
      It is a low stress trade as long as you can collect between 200 to 250 points when selling strangles (closer to ATM in-the-money options of 90/120 days duration. I have never traded equity options. I want to know if there are good candidates for such inverted strangles.

      It's just as you've said it to be , Anybody profiting of WallStreet finds it as a major thing of happiness
      It's like having another source of consistent income except from your salary and that's a very good thing
      Only few traders worry about learning as much as earning and that's why they get trapped in loops of repeated losses.

    • @I_amjoyce0
      @I_amjoyce0 3 роки тому +5

      Personally you will never understand how profitable passive incomes are until you start investing in the financial market.
      Cynicism and Skepticism are the very first move to failure .Of course anyone can make profits from the market
      As a newbie believing to do it as someone who has been trading and making profits in and out of it is where the problems lies
      Experience coupled with Expertise are keys to unlock lucrativeness in the market ,lacking them incurs losses.
      Through the decades stock trading has proven to be profitable to several individuals around the world.
      But not to me because all I do is incur the striking wrath of losses😡. How do you go about making profits ??

      I got into the trade market with a 6k deposit,Today I’ve more than 6 figures saved in just seven months.
      Even if I never even have to move a finger because all my trades are via a professional LOL
      I invest with Noud Mikan an expert trader ,his versatility in different markets is the reason I'm earning so much
      I had him trade Options and stocks on my behalf and I still remember my first payouts was $15k in a span of 15days.
      With Noud at the helm of my trading affairs I still go to work and live my normal life ,majorly all I do is follow - up my portfolio
      But I already see a well deserved retirement for me due to Noud's ingeniousness
      Passive incomes don't require much active work but active minds and that's why I love investing with him because I keep earning

    • @lrwhit6456
      @lrwhit6456 22 дні тому

      It is meant for indexes. It's unwise to use it on stocks, because you risk assignment along the way when your short puts or short calls are in the money. An "in the money" put or call that you are short on, is subject to possible assignment at any time. They don't have to be assigned at expiration.

      Thats a good Point! TD Ameritrade, Thinkorswim, charges $.65 per contract for entry of trade AND exit of trade. So this scenario costs $.65 x 4 : $2.60 to enter and another $2.60 to close (if don"t let expire to zero) I think, lol. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. Hopefully I'm wrong and since you enter an Iron Condor as one trade, theres only 1 $.65 commission charge?

    Thanks!

  • @guaromiami
    @guaromiami 6 років тому +6

    What happens if the stock price ends up somewhere between the short strike price and the protection purchase? For example, in the video you sell a 65 put and buy a 60 put; what if the stock price ended up at 62.50?

    • @mr.pocket575
      @mr.pocket575 6 років тому +2

      You would get assigned and be short 100 shares of the stock at $65 a share. That basically means you need to buy it back at a price below $65 to make a profit. If the price is at $62.50 after expiration that means you could buy to close for a $2.50 profit per share(65.00-62.50). But if the stock price keeps going up, and you still held on to the stock, you could be looking at a very large loss. For example if the price went up to $70 a share after expiration, then you would be down $5 dollars per share for a total of $500 loss.

      Let's say 90. At most you lose: 0 from Buy Call (90 is BEP) and - 500 (5 points from 85)= -500.
      Plus the sell call -> -400.
      But this is just theory, practice is much different

      @Christopher Theodore I experimented a lot with different strategies. It went from just buying calls/puts to eventually iron condors and spreads. Now, I am content with just covered puts/calls on securities that are stable (such as Microsoft, SPY, etc...) It's been a very good few months and I am happy that I can earn more than just dividends. I don't have any wild gains. Just small and consistent gains of like maybe $100 a week on a relatively small portfolio.

    I got a question, at 5:01 he is explaining how money can be lost using the iron condor. He says that both the put options go to zero, but because he sold a put @ $65 he profits $100. This makes sense but where I get lost is when he says he lost $900 on the covered call he sold @ an 85 strike. it was my understanding that if you sell a covered call you have to own 100 shares and if it goes way ITM (in the money) the buyer of the contract can then call the contract and take your 100 shares paying you 90 per share. so if you bought the shares at 70 or 75 (from the looks of the graph) then the stock goes up and the buyer calls the shares from you. You would make 15-20 bucks a share but lose out on the higher gains of 6 points on the stocks way up to 96 and if its 100x20 that's $2000 profit. Ontop of that he bought a call making $500. I feel like I got something totally backwards but the more I think about this the more I cant make sense of it.

      Naked not covered strategy. That's why he only risked $300 loss.
