Happy New Year everyone, wishing you all a healthy, happy and profitable 2023!

I like to start every year by putting Iron Condors on in all the major indices. Since QQQ (NASDAQ) is the most volatile right now, we'll start with that one. :)

Anytime I see a chart like this one for Shopify, my contrarian nature tells me to short it. Nothing goes up forever, so my trade will assume the stock price falls over the next 45 days.

But there are 2 ways to play this, a Short Call Vertical or a Long Put Vertical. So how and why do we choose the trade we want to make? Watch and Learn. :)

Oil has been falling over the last couple of weeks, lucky for all of us at the gas pump :)

Because of this, volatility has been rising. So let's throw on an Iron Condor in the Oil ETF, USO.

MARA is past Earnings but it has been on a slide for the past few weeks so Volatility is still high. As contrarians, we will make a trade with the assumption that over the next few weeks it will tend to bounce.

We do that by Selling a Put Vertical in MARA.

Market has been on a wild ride these past few weeks. And even though the volatility in QQQ is higher than the SPY, in my personal assumption, the QQQ has been a bit more erratic.

What I am going to do is choose the Index that has high volatility, but also in my opinion, is in a bit more of a range. In this case, that would be the SPY.

Hopefully, that makes sense :)

The Bond market has been taking a beating for the last several months. It reached a low about 2 weeks ago. We will make a trade, as contrarians, that over the next few weeks the Bond market will start to rally a bit.

We do that by Selling a Put Vertical in TLT (the Bond ETF).

This week we are doing something a little different. We are starting with an assumption that we believe Silver (SLV) will continue upwards in the short term. While usually we would look to trade around the 45 day window and let duration beat direction, we are making a different assumption this time.

We are betting on a short term continuation of silver to the upside. So we will shorten our timeframe to the closest expiration cycle above 30 days and look to manage this trade more aggressively, if it shows a profit in the next couple of weeks.

Watch and learn.

This week we are letting you decide on what you think will happen. SPY going up, Call Vertical. SPY going down, Put Vertical. But the reason we are doing this is because of Volatility and its Expected Move understating its Actual Move. Huh?

Docusign is post earnings and been on a downward slide for a while. But with the huge drop comes a rise in volatility and we LOVE volatility.

Since this stock has gone down so far so fast, as contrarians, we are going to skew this Iron Condor slightly upward (meaning the Put side is closer to the stock price than the Call side).

Meaning, we are betting that it will stay in a range but we will leave more room to the upside because we feel it is closer to reaching its lows than possibly bouncing back to some highs.

The other addition is we are taking risk off the upside. We do that by collecting enough credit to cover the width of the strikes to the upside. Meaning, since the Call Side is $2, as long as we collect $2 credit or more when we make this trade, we take away all the risk to the upside.

How? If we were to breach the upside and go past 59, the Call Vertical would be a full loser (meaning, we would lose $2). But since we collected $2 credit when we Sold this Skewed Iron Condor, that $2 credit covers the $2 loss and we lose nothing to the upside.

The cost for this is, we need to make the Put Vertical $5 in order to collect $2 total on this trade. Meaning, there is $3 risk to the downside ($5 width - $ credit). Nothing is for free in the stock market. We take more risk on the downside to achieve zero risk to the upside.

Hopefully, that makes sense :)

Iron condor is an advanced option strategy that is popular among traders who want consistent returns without spending too much time preparing and executing trades.

It can deliver a high likelihood of return as a neutral position for those who have learned to execute it appropriately.

Two credit spreads must be made in order to build an iron condor. A credit spread is formed by selling one option (put or call) and then buying another that is more out of the money.

The profit is calculated as the difference between the premiums collected for the sold option and the cost of the purchased option.

When the options expire, this profit is achieved by either purchasing back the position for a profit or keeping the entire premium.

Good trading!
