Daily Iron Condors: A Step-by-Step Strategy for Spy and Banknifty
Hello everyone, This month, we will be discussing this new strategy every Thursday. Instruments:Spy (Us) or Banknifty (India) Strategy: Daily Iron Condor with easy adjustments. Details: This is a single-day strategy where we sell short legs for a 10c premium and buy long legs for 1-2 cents. Initially, the Iron Condor will be unbalanced. As soon as one of the short legs doubles in premium (e.g., 20c), we adjust the other side’s short leg to match the 20c premium. We set a Stop Loss for the first short leg at 40c. When it hits 40c, we then place a stop loss on the remaining short leg at 20c. Rules: 1. Short a call and put at around 10 cents and buy a call and put at 1-2 cents. 2. When the stock price moves toward one side and the short leg of that side reaches 20c, close the other (non-breached) short leg and resell a new short leg at 20c. Note: Closing that leg will already yield some profit. You will now have 2 short legs at 20c. If the non-breached side does not have a 20c premium at least 2 strikes away, do not roll that side as it may create a narrow Iron Condor, increasing risk if the market reverses. In such cases, close the short leg on the breached side at 20c, which may result in a minor loss (-0.45%). 3. Set a stop-loss at 40c on both sides. 4. When a side hits 40c, close that short leg only. Leave the other leg open and set a stop loss on it at 20c. 5. When the remaining leg hits 20c, close that short leg, minimizing losses. 6. All trades will be fully closed daily.
