Iron Condor - Getting Wall Street To Cry 'Uncle'

by Ted Nino

A number of different techniques and strategies are available to option investors to help assist them in achieving consistent and reliable monthly income from the option market.

For example there is the butterfly spread, the <a href="http://www.ironcondoroptiontradingstrategy.com">iron condor</a> , the diagonal (an/or the double diagonal), and the calendar spread, the double calendar spread - and, the vertical spread, which is sometimes also referred to as the credit spread.

The vertical spread is actually a very important and core strategy that is found in many if not all option strategies - including the ones just mentioned. As an example of this, look at the iron condor. This strategy is simply just two vertical spreads - one placed above where the stock being used is trading at - and one below.

Also take a look at the butterfly. This strategy is comprised of verticals as well. One in the upper half of the position and one in the lower half. Also the iron butterfly is made up of two credit - or vertical spreads. A put vertical and a call vertical - both sold at a credit.

The vertical spread trade can be built from either call options or also put options.

Following is an illustration of a bear call vertical spread on the imaginary stock XYZ...

Sell 7 XYZ 35 Call Options Buy 7 XYZ 40 Call Options

Again, this vertical spread is a bullish position - where the opinion of the option seller is that ABC will be moving higher over the shorter term, or staying put in it's general area on the price chart.

Even though the position in the example uses call options, it is a bearish position since it is constructed in such a way to be profitable if the stock being used (RIMM) heads down, or stays in the general area of where it is currently trading at.

If XYZ does in fact move downwards (or at least stay in the general area where it is currently trading at and NOT go up) this position will be a spread winning trade and the premium collected at the start of the trade can remain as profit in the traders account. And if you like the idea of that, you can also use this spread on dual sides of where the underlying is trading at - creating an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j7JdysThY8">iron condor</a> option trade.

Tho' <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j7JdysThY8">iron condor</a> trading can be a keen system to render passive gains, of course like any trading technique there are probable hurdles investors should be aware of before jumping in.
