Capitalizing on Consolidation Phase
Markets spend a significant amount of time consolidating rather than trending. For options traders, non-directional strategies offer a consistent way to harness time decay. The derivative trading desk at SP RESEARCHVIA PVT. LTD. demystifies the Iron Condor strategy.
How do you structure a balanced Iron Condor option spread?
Sell an out-of-the-money Call and Put, while simultaneously buying further out-of-the-money Call and Put options to limit maximum risk.
Managing and Adjusting Spreads
If the underlying index approaches one of your short strikes, consider rolling the opposite side closer to collect more premium, or exit the trade if the stop-loss target is hit.
