OPENING: RUT JULY 19TH 1440/1445/1625/1630 IRON CONDOR

2019年5月21日

... for a 1.81/contract credit.

Metrics:

Max Profit: $181/contract
Max Loss: $319/contract
Break Evens: 1443.19/1626.81
Delta/Theta: -.81/1.82

Notes: Been a while since I've done any RUT. Collecting more than one-third the width of the wings with the shorties camped out around the 20 delta strike. Will roll the untested side on approaching worthless intratrade to bring in additional credit, improve break evens, and/or reduce max loss potential. Looking to take profit at 50% max (.90/$90).

註釋

You can't collect quite the same juice in RUT's ETF counterpart -- IWM -- with a 5-wide iron condor camped out at similarly delta'd strikes, which is why I went with RUT instead. You'd have to move into the 25 delta shorties to collect 1.86 (i.e., the July 19th 142/147/160/165).

Covering this for 3.70, so a .55 ($55 loser). Net, however, .48 ($48) profit in July RUT positions with the other iron condor covered today. Just got a little too aggressive with the call side on this one.
