Today I am going to teach you how to make money using my favorite option trading strategy - the iron condor.
Woo this one is going to be an exciting one because in this video I get to show you how I make consistent passive income by setting up iron condors

Now when trading options, you make trades based off of what you think will happen with the stock. You buy calls if you think the stock will go up, you buy puts if you think the stock will go down. When you sell calls for the most part you are hoping the stock doesn’t reach your strike price by the expiration date, and same thing when you sell a put, you are hoping that the stock does not go down below your strike price. Now sometimes its much easier to say - well I don’t know if its going to go up or down but I think the stock will trade between this price and this price. This is where the iron condor comes in. With an Iron Condor your goal is for the stock to trade in-between 2 points. So you pick a strike price higher than the stock price, and you pick another strike price that is lower than the stock price. Now if that stock trades in between these two strike prices, and by expiration finishes between these two strike price then you make profit. It’s as easy as that. So lets say Company X is now trading at $50 per share - and you as a savvy option trader say - hmm, I think Company X will stay in between $55 on the high end and $45 on the low end by next month so I’m going to put on an Iron Condor to make this trade. Now if Company X indeed stays between $45 and $55 then you will win this trade and make profit. (Watch Video for example)

So what makes up an iron condor? Well as an option trader you know that we can either buy a call, sell a call, buy a put and sell a put. These are the only 4 trades that we can make in options. Everything else, including the iron condor will be a combination of the individual trades we already know. So if you know how to buy calls and puts, and if you know how to sell calls and puts, you already know how to trade an iron condor. The iron condor is made up of 4 different trades put together. First we are going to pick the strike prices that we believe the stock will trade in-between and sell those options. So let’s go with our previous example and say we think company X will stay in-between $45 and $55. We are going to sell a call with a strike price of $55 and sell a put with a strike price of $45. Because we sold a call at $55 we are saying we don’t want to stock price to reach $55 - just like if you were to sell a call by itself. On the put side, by selling a put a $45 we are saying that we don’t want the stock to drop below $45. When combining these two trades we are combining the two things that we want to happen into one idea - which is wanting the stock to trade below $55 and above $45 or in other words, between these 2 points. We are going to now buy a call and buy a put on either end of this trade for protection. We are going to buy a call ABOVE the call we sold, and we are going to buy a put BELOW the put we sold. These 4 option trades together make up the iron condor. You are selling a call, and selling a put. You are then buying a call higher, and buying a put lower for protection on your trade.
