  1. if you trade stocks, how can you go forward without learning something called an "Iron Condor"? Just sounds cool. I made 5k off my Iron-Condor last month!

    Can you put a Stop loss/ order on an Iron-Condor? I would assume so.

  2. Sasha when you showed the diagram of the call option graph, you said it was a call spread. However shouldn’t a call spread have a max profit level? Not infinite profit? Maybe just mis stayed the name?

  3. I dont get it! What is the point of taking long contract 40-30 days?!!? Why not execute the selling of iron condor in a short contract with 5 to 2 days till exparation???? Please, explan!

  4. The majority of 2014 was a good year to be doing iron condors on AMZN.
    BTW the color choices of the red lines on blue background risk graph on TOS are difficult to discern. Does the TOS platform have custom color configs?

  5. Novice questions – This video is explained so well, but something doesn't add up for me. If you "confirmed and sent" the trade, how much would it have cost? Do you have to accumulate more theta premium than the cost of the condor in order to profit from it? How long would it take for you to break even if the stock didn't move? Sorry I'm so confused.

  6. Hey sasha, excellent work you been doing!
    I have to ask you something, how far of the expiration date, how wide the spreads would you recommend?
    Thanks

  7. This is a really interesting video, however it was confusing for a beginner like myself. Main confusion lies in the fact that 2 debit spreads are presented in the beginning, however, the iron condor is created using two credit spreads, on the opposite sides of the stock price… in fact you present a bullish put spread and a bearish call spread in the selling of the iron condor… not sure why this had to be presented in such a complicated manner, but all in all – ok video.
