\n
\n
so as a result of the Cova 19 pandemic<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
unless you’re living under a rock<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
somewhere you’re aware more than aware<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that the market crashed in March now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
when a market crashes what happens is<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that the options market begins to adjust<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to the realities of that crash and in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this video we’ll be showing you an<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
example of that now Before we jump into<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that though we’ve got to make sure that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
everyone listening understands the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
basics of index options and for those of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you who already understand options<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
basics<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hang in there there’s going to be really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
quick and then we’ll jump into the key<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
principles of this lesson okay so now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
almost all of you are probably familiar<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
with equity options where a call buys<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you the right to buy 100 shares of a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
stock at the strike price of the option<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
anytime before the option expires and a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
put option entitles you to sell 100<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shares at the strike price of the put<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
before that option expires but there are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
also index options which work similarly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to equity options except there’s no such<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
thing as 100 shares of an index like the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
S&P 500 you can’t really buy or sell 100<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shares of an index but what you can do<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is get paid in cash $100 per point if<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the index expires above the strike price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of an index call that you buy or<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
alternatively you’d be paid $100 per<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
point for each point the index drops<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
below the strike price of your index put<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so for example if an index is trading at<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
1,400 and you buy the 14 10 call if the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
index goes to 1415 you’d receive $500 in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
your account if the index closes at 1410<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
or lower your call expires worthless on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the other side of the ledger if you buy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a 1385 put and the market sells off to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
1375 you’d make $1,000 but if the market<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
just sold off to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
1385 or higher the put would expire<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
worthless so those are the basics of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
index options and remember you can buy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options but your broker will allow you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to sell options as well and your broker<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
will allow you to put together<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
combinations of options in other words<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
option strategies that involve both<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
short and long options purchased in a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
way that is advantageous to you as a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trader<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
okay so now that we’ve established the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
basics of how index options work let’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
take a look at a pretty surprising<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
example of just how dramatically options<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
adapt to market conditions and how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
helpful that can be to you as an options<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
income trader so let’s take a look back<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at December 30th 2019 about four months<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
ago before the pandemic had really<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
emerged as a finance or markets issue<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
now most of you have heard of the VIX<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
index and what it represents but for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
those of you who’ve not to put it in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
very very simple terms the VIX measures<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
how expensive options are getting which<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in turn is a reflection of how much fear<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
there is in the market and so as you can<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
see the VIX was trading near its<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
two-year lows back at the very end of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
2019 now at that time the market was<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
very bullish particularly tech stocks<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and so let’s focus on a particular index<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
known as the ndx index also known as the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Nasdaq 100 which is a very commonly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
traded index for options traders the nd<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the MDX index includes Microsoft Apple<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Netflix alphabet and lots of other tech<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
giants most of which were in a very<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
bullish mode at the end of last year<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
which are the very times that the VIX<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tends to be very low as it was at the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
end of last year now there’s an option<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
strategy known as the iron Condor that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
some of you may have heard of and the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
way that it works is that you create a<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
wide range around the current price of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
whatever you’re trading within which<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’ll make a profit if the market<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
remains anywhere in that wide range so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
let’s explain you how this works and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
should come clear to you so let’s say<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that on December 30th of last year you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
wanted to make a 39 day iron Condor<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trade on the ndx Index well on that day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the ndx Index was trading at 87 21 and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so what we did was we sold the nd xcall<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
9200 about 500 points above the current<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
market<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and we bought the 9300 call for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
protection should the market go crazy to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the upside at the same time we sold the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
eight thousand foot which was seven<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hundred points below the market and then<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the 100 points below that we buy the 79<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hundred foot now let’s understand how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this creates a large range around the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
current market so to do that let’s first<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
look at the cash flow implications of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what we’ve done here with this trade so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you can see that when we bought the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
ninety three hundred call we paid eight<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dollars and eighty five cents but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because this put pays off $100 per point<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
if ndx gets above ninety three hundred<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
then that eight dollar and eighty five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
cents is multiplied by one hundred to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
arrive at total cash paid into our<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
account of eight hundred eighty five<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dollars when we sold the ninety two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hundred call we received a market price<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
of $17.50 so that becomes a cash inflow<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
into our account of seventeen hundred<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
fifteen dollars now moving down to the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
put side we sold the eight thousand foot<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for thirty nine dollars and seventy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
cents which brought in three thousand<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
nine hundred seventy dollars and at the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
same time we bought the protective 79<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hundred foot for $32.25<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
so those are the cash implications now<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the way that this trade works at any<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
price below ninety two hundred and above<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
eight thousand you get to keep all of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the cash that you received in other<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
words your profit would be the entire<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
initial cash flow why well let’s examine<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
what happens if the market expires<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
between any of those any of those two<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
points well both the ninety three<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
hundred and the ninety two hundred calls<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
both expire on expiration day february<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
seventh completely worthless because for<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
either and trigger an obligation to the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
buyer of that option the market would<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have had to be above the strike price of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the call option as we explained earlier<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and the same logic applies to the eight<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
thousand and seventy nine hundred put<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options unless the market expires below<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
eight thousand then obviously there are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
no obligations to the put buyer of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
either the eight thousand for the set<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
900 puts and so those expire worthless<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
also so those options just die and go to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options heaven and you get to keep the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
original cash flow that you received as<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the trade is over in other words your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
initial initial cash flow becomes your<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
profit on the trade now before we get<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
into how this all changes when the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
market gets extremely volatile like it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
is in the last two months I wanted to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

opportunity for retail traders and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
investors to learn directly from Wall<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Street traders but that’s exactly what<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you’ll be getting through this free<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
online workshop so click the link to<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
sign up now and don’t miss it okay so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
now we’re gonna fast-forward through<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
today and as you can see the VIX which<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
had been trading in the 12 to 20 range<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for the vast majority of 2018 and 2019<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
suddenly spiked massively on February<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
24th and has remained elevated above 35<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
ever since spiking as high as 85 at one<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
point as the market grapples with how<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
badly the Cova Denine teen pandemic will<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
damage the valuation of the equity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
markets in general so as a result<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options pricing has spiked right along<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
with the VIX<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
which as we said before was explained<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
simply as a measure of how expensive<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options are getting and so now let’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
take a look at how this plays out in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
reality so let’s move now to march 9th<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
which was in the middle of this huge<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
spike in the VIX and we’re going to look<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
at an apples for apples situation we’re<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
taking the ndx index options 39 days<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from March 9th so that’s the April 17th<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
expiration and we’re going to set up an<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
iron Condor and you’ll remember that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
before we went 500 points above the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
market to sell the call but in this case<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
we’re going to move up a thousand points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from where the index was trading on that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
day which is slightly above 8,000 so<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
moving up 1,000 points to the 9,000 call<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
strike price and selling that one as we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
did then moving up another 100 points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
from there to 90 100 we’re going to go<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
ahead and buy the protective call and on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the put side you’ll remember earlier we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
dropped down 700 points to sell the put<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
on the put side of the trade well in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
this case we’re gonna drop 2,200 points<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
below the current market price and sell<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the 5800 call and below that we’d buy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the 5700 put so while before we were<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
1200 points wide on this iron Condor we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
are now 3,200 points wide so not only<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
are we almost three times wider than we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
were before<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
in the low volatility environment but<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I’d like you to take a look at the cash<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
flow on this iron Condor now we won’t go<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
through each strike in details we did<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
before but as you can see that when you<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
net down each of the strikes of the iron<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Condor adding up the cash we received<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for the short options and the amount we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
paid for the long options we end up with<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
over 26 hundred dollars in cash flow on<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a trade that is 2,000 points wider than<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the earlier iron Condor we demonstrated<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
with where we collected just about<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
$1,500 or so in other words we were<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
collecting 75% more cash on an iron<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Condor that is 2,000 points wider it’s<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
incredible so moving forward expiration<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
day will see that the ndx closed at 8000<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
8:32 and for the same reasoning that we<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
just discussed earlier we see<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Polly Pocket the 2672 dollars in options<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
premium that we originally received and<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the witting trade has ended this should<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
not come as a big surprise given the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
fact that we nearly tripled the width of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the iron Condor and so for the markets<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
that stay within that giant range<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
shouldn’t be that shocking now the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
purpose of this video was to drive home<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
a very important point and that is that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
these kinds of market neutral range<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
trades like the iron Condor are very<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
tradable in super volatile markets<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because the options market automatically<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
adjusts to the giant moves in the equity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
market that are taking place and adjusts<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the pricing accordingly so that the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options sellers are compensated properly<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for the risks of they’re taking the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options markets basically saying look if<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you want me to sell you this iron Condor<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
for anywhere near the price you paid<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
before in the low volatility times then<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
you need to give me a much much wider<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
zone of safety than the normal zone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
because the markets too erratic making<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
big up moves and big mountain down moves<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
virtually every day so for me to be able<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
to make a profit of my iron Condor I<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
have to make it pretty unlikely that<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
I’ll have to pay off and that can only<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
be accomplished if you put my short call<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
strikes way above the market and my<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
short put strikes way way below the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
market as we did in this example<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
creating this giant 3,200 point wide<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
iron Condor and actually getting paid<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
more for it then the 1200 point wide<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Condor expiring in the previous month in<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
the lower volatility times these are the<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
kinds of opportunities that professional<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
options traders look for all the time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
and once you become experienced you’ll<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
be able to spot these same kinds of<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
opportunities whether you’re trading<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
professionally or with your own capital<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
