Unbalanced Condors for The Conservative Option Trader

Donald Scott — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:56:52 +0000

There are a few different types of option traders. Some option traders are very aggressive, and they can really be called day traders. This type of trader uses a lot of money, and they are in and out of trades all day long. Option traders that trade this way do not usually hold a position overnight. It's a very stressful way to trade and requires constant attention. I once had a conversation with a day trader who was working about 60 to 80 hours per week in order to successfully trade options this way. But I wonder how successful he really was. Because if he was making so much money, then why did he call me to learn a new way to trade options?

Iron Condor, the Negative Vega Option Trade

Donald Scott — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:43:07 +0000

As a negative Vega option spread, the "Iron Condor" will benefit when the IV on the underlying traded drops. Most of the time this will happen when the underlying's price is moving up. Currently, the market is showing some confidence. Since it's a negative Vega spread, this is the perfect time to use the "Iron Condor' strategy. However, make sure that you are giving the IV some room to drop for when the IV hits support, better watch out as it might rise on you and definitely hurt the Condor.
