I am sure you read our previous thread on SS where you sell slightly OTM options in a sideways market.
To create an IC
Create an SS first
Buy the next OTM CE
Buy the next OTM PE
Let’s clear with an example
IRON CONDOR (IC)
If Short Strangle’s margin and unlimited loss potential is too much for you then the Iron Condor option strategy could be a perfect fit for you. It's not as complex as it sounds
A thread 🧵
#options #trading
I am sure you read our previous thread on SS where you sell slightly OTM options in a sideways market.
To create an IC
Create an SS first
Buy the next OTM CE
Buy the next OTM PE
Let’s clear with an example
If Nifty is trading at 16300 and you expect it to trade in a narrow range of 200 points till expiry then
Sell 16400CE
Sell 16200PE
This is SS, right?
Now Buy 16500CE
Buy 16100 PE
That is IC
Sell 16400CE @117
Sell 16200PE @157
Premium received = 274
Buy 16500CE @ 80
Buy 16100PE @ 117
Premium paid = 197
Net premium received = Received – Paid = 274 – 197 = 77
This net credit is the max profit potential in an IC
Max profit potential in case of IC (77) is much less than SS (274), but consider this as cost for capping the risk
We know that there is unlimited risk in SS, in case market makes sharp move. This risk is capped with two long options in case of IC
Our sold strike = 16400
Our bought (protective) strike = 16500
Spread = 16500 – 16400 = 100
Max Loss = Spread – Net premium received
Spread = 100 – 77 = 23
Thereby our maximum loss reduces (from unlimited in SS) to 23 points
From the above Ex
Max profit = 77
Max Loss = 23
Risk/Reward potential = 1:3 which is good
In most cases RR will be favorable, that is more than the risk involved
I have put the above figures in Zerodha margin calculator and came up with following results:
a/ For the following Short Strangle
This seems high for a strategy that is open-ended so it has to be covered as follows
We added 100 points spread to the SS (long 16500CE & 16100PE)
Now Margin required = Rs37,693
We need significantly less margin in this 4legged IC than a 2-legged SS. This is because our short options have been funding our long options
There are two breakeven points in IC
Upper BE = Short CE strike + Net premium received
Lower BE = Short PE Strike – Net Premium received
In the above Example
Upper BE = 16400 + 77 = 16477
Lower BE = 16200 – 77 = 16133
From the diagram you can see that you will have max profit if market expires within the short CE and PE strikes
The profit reduces as market expires between the short strikes and BE points
Outside the BE points, there is limited loss
IC is an improvisation over SS
It makes money when market expires in the expected range
Has Narrower BE points
Has lesser margin requirements than SS
Got limited risk at the cost of less profit potential than SS

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan.
