The iron condor is a four-leg options strategy that profits when a stock stays within a range. Alpha Copilot helps you find the right width, strikes, and expiration using real-time probability data.
An iron condor combines a bull put spread and a bear call spread. You sell an out-of-the-money put spread below the current price and an out-of-the-money call spread above it. You collect a net credit and profit if the stock stays between your short strikes at expiration.
Max loss is limited to the width of your spreads minus credit received.
Well-placed iron condors can have 60-80% probability of profit.
Profits from low volatility and time decay, not directional moves.
Wider iron condors have higher probability of profit but lower premium relative to risk. Narrow condors offer better risk/reward but break more often. Finding the right balance is key.
Place short strikes at delta levels matching your probability target. 15-20 delta short strikes typically give 60-70% PoP. Alpha Copilot evaluates all delta levels to find the best risk/reward.
Iron condors work best on broad indices (SPY, QQQ) or large-cap stocks with high liquidity and elevated IV rank. Avoid iron condors around earnings or major events.
Alpha Copilot analyzes multiple width and strike combinations, evaluates probability of profit, and recommends the setup with the best risk/reward for your goals.
