Depending on how the spreads are constructed, option traders will potentially be able to obtain twice the collect premium over a single spread position. Since there are bullish and bearish spreads involved in the Iron Condor Option Trading Strategy, there is an upper break even and a lower break even point. Profit is realized when the underlying asset remains above the lower break even point or below the upper break even point. In other words, as long as the price of the asset is above your bullish short strike and below the bearish short strike, the option trader will profit from both spreads through time decay. This strategy can be used regularly on a monthly basis to consistently generate a healthy cash flow in your trading business. Time decay erodes the value of option prices. There are not many option traders who understand the benefit with trading spreads because it simply looks too complicated. Well, it is not. Iron Condor Spreads is a market neutral strategy that has positive time decay and negative gamma with limited risk. Traders with any level of option trading experience can use this trading approach. Depending on your brokerage expertise and software, these spreads should be available electronically with single click functionality. Some brokers may even provide better leverage when you trade Iron Condor with them.

Constructed correctly, the iron condor spread can be a consistent income generator. Before getting into new positions, you should look for positions that have an extremely high percentage of profitability. If you have the odds of winning in your favor. you will likely be profitable in the long run. To do so, look specifically for options that have a relatively higher level of volatility. This means to look for positions that are over priced. Establish a trade positions that you believe that the underlying asset will not move to anywhere new your short strike. To achieve consistent profit, our Iron Condor positions will always have a wide profit range on the underlying asset. So, in the event that the underlying moves up, down or even sideways, you will always profit with time decay. Having a large profit range is important because it will almost certainly guarantee that we will profit consistently and also it does not require us to spend a lot of time to monitor our open positions. We like the idea of trading with little stress and with little work. Our usual profit target for each Iron Condor spread is 13% to 18%. Profit is usually realized within 60 days.
