How to Trade Iron Condors (Theta Options Strategy)

[@SnehasishGhoshSg]

Giving out the secret to money making.
It took me 4, 150 page books, countless youtube video hours, lots of losses to learn all these techniques and you are giving it up in an 18 min video.
sighsss !!!!

[@InvestwithHenry]

Haha thank you! This comment means a lot to me

[@freddurst4420]

don't be so dramatic , you obviously learn at a slow rate.

[@ptfodity]

All off that just to be at a loss again

[@infact5667]

Your passion for teaching really shows. Best videos on RUclips. Keep up the good work.

[@InvestwithHenry]

Thanks a lot! That means a lot to me!

[@theenzone1420]

Great video Henry. I have watched Iron condor videos before, but after this one it's finally sunk in. Looking forward to trying this now, as been assigned on most of my covered calls last week, so can put my limited funds to work. Thank you Henry! 👍🤓

[@davebennett2970]

Henry, I'm really enjoying your content. I'd be really interested in understanding available actions if an Iron Condor goes way further up or down than expected. What does it look like when things don't play out right, when should I buy/sell to close, etc (or how do you even unwind a Condor?)

[@deliveredbyjace5977]

Your videos are so helpful. You expose us to strategies that work in different market climates. Red/Green days…you cover what strategies work for both. Thank you, uncle Henry!

[@lizbeth9254]

wowzah good stuff Henry and by the comments of more experienced traders sounds good lol, just alot of info to absorb without much of the steps of how to do this (i noticed started but then stopped unike your other videos where you walked us throught steps in buying/selling etc).. so for this 47 year old newby has alot more reading research, video watching to learn.. hopefully at some point it all comes together. thank you, Liz

[@treydallas903]

Secret tip you have to know which stock to use this strategy with. Iron Condors are for Stocks like At&t that move slow ( Note: make sure you find the dividend date of that stock so you may close your contract out before that date). First practice on think or swim because you need to know how to OPEN them and CLOSE them. Study, Study, Study! (Note: Slow moving ETFs have a higher percentage return and have further out expiration dates to close. For examples At&t you can open a contract that expires in the week now when you open an ETF VNQ the dates are a month to expire.

[@rlin656]

How are you exercising the contracts for the returns? waiting for expiration?
p.s. Option strategies are a very difficult topic to grasp for beginners like myself and I truly think you produce the best content for breaking down options. Thank you - Keep up the great work. You definitely have a new subscriber

[@InvestwithHenry]

Thank you!

[@DaBooster]

You do not exercise anything, you collect the premiums. That is it.

[@LGchapin]

@@DaBooster sorry im trying to understand. So you let it expire and get paid? I never done options. How do you collect the premium? Does it do it automatically when it expires?

[@mikerohde7959]

@@LGchapin Dk if u got you question answered another place, but yes, you collect premium when you sell an option. You keep 100% of it, if it expires worthless. You could also earn 50% off it, if you decide to sell some days before it expires

[@Michael-st9ky]

At expiration, sometimes your sell(short) options can be assigned. Just happened to me on friday and had to sell 14,800 worth of stock, luckily my broker also auto exercised my long call option for 14,900 and protected my account from the obligation. If your broker doesnt exercise automatically you would be in deep shit. I would have taken a larger loss vs a -100 loss

[@pwalch2004]

Great information Henry. Can you make a video showing how to buyback 1 side of an iron condor and open a similar position for more premium?

[@lugarcia1824]

Thank you Henry and where do you join the email newsletter?

[@abhinavjain5306]

Uncle Henry - this is phenomenal. Videos like these would at-least cost some good $$$. Appreciate you taking the time and educating the masses. God Bless !

[@InvestwithHenry]

Thank you!

[@Restor3d]

Hello Henry, to make profits and for protection should you close each position before expiration?

[@96ahsanullah]

market manipulators can see your option plays and will push the price otm. Have experienced this firsthand

[@FinancialOptionsWithThumper]

Iron condors are great, I love that your buying power is reduced by only one of the two spreads, it almost feels like the second side is free! Is there a particular delta you like to see your shorts at when you are setting up an Iron Condor?

[@InvestwithHenry]

Totally agree! Hmm I pick both ides to be between 10 and 20 delta!

[@TheAmaye]

what platform is it that you trade on

[@SJTaveras]

Amazing video Uncle Henry your the best option trader on youtube hands down love your work my man. Thank you

[@theenzone1420]

Hello again Henry. I've been doing iron condors for a couple of months now, but on ibkr mobile it gives the choice to buy or sell. Is there a difference? I've been choosing buy, but wondering if I should have been choosing sell? Please please answer. I can't find this info anywhere. Thank you. 🙏😊

[@Dashewthadowg]

Videos are great, by far the best explanation for iron condors thank you!!

[@Hardtimes330]

I fail to see how this is for small portfolios. What if you get assigned on one of your calls or outs that you wrote? Now we are talking about tens of thousands of dollars required to buy the underlying. If someone can makes sense of this for me that would be great!

[@zcollincollin8939]

love these options videos
glad you are back to your roots

[@InvestingSalas]

Awesome video! Thanks for educating everyone on how to make money even on less volatile stocks!

[@user-fr9qn9hn2s]

Hi Henry, Do you have the option until expiration? how do you manage the position in case a big move of the stock price?

[@Bruno_Chibuike]

I'm still learning options trading. So here's my question... Is it possible to buy 2 call options of the same stock with different expiration dates and still take profit when the value goes up?

[@FIRE_AtTheBeach]

Hi Recently dis9your channel and just subscribed.. love your contents.. I'm new to options.. are there early risk of assignment in iron condor at expiration if the stock is within the price range you pick?

[@bourneodikaesiemeh5818]

Hi Henry, great job.
Can you please do a video on how to adjust iron condor please?

[@aratukiryouno]

Thanks for sharing such a good strategy to collect the premium. However, what if the market really moves pretty far that challenge/breaks 1 side of our position?
Could you explain more about the adjustment? Or any strategies that could help us to low our max loss when something happened?

[@greenknightsea3906]

Roll the legs that are close to being ITM (up/down) and out.

[@rogerrose4573]

Henry.... thank you for making these videos. I am just getting into this and you make it very easy to follow.
How do you get the money our before the expiration date??
TIA

[@PeterPaulMasigan]

You enthusiasm is contagious. Love it!

[@canadatoronto6021]

Do you let the contracts expire or what percentage do you go out?

[@randalljohnson8293]

Great Job Henry! I love trades that Do Not have unlimited risk!

[@michaeld954]

For some reason im getting on robinhood this message "you can only select up to 1 option. if you want to build a strategy that's more than 1 option, you need to place separate orders.

[@silverstacker1733]

Couldn’t you sell a put and buy a put $5 lower, then sell a CC at a strike price you are willing to let the stock go? This would cap your upside, and still provides protection on the downside while maximizing the premium you collect. Am I missing something?

[@chitikeshirohith]

Hi Henry, Do you mind making video on palantir call options. I am thinking
of investing in palantir

[@InvestwithHenry]

Yes soon

[@chitikeshirohith]

[@jasonfan2283]

Do you put a stop loss for Iron Condor ?

[@coanstevens1122]

Hey Henry, I just discovered your channel today. I’m new to options, but your explanations are helping me understand these strategies. Thanks for the informative content. 👍🇺🇸👍

[@AskDrSusan]

I’m not understanding why the buy call is higher than the sell call? Wouldn’t you want the buy call to be lower than a sell call, so that you can make a profit if it gets called away?

[@greenknightsea3906]

Would this not be considered a "Short Iron Condor"? I thought that a regular "Iron Condor" was placed using 2 debit spreads??🙄

[@unstoppablegaming6758]

question about selling options, do you have to have the money in your account in case they decide to exercise the option if you use the iron condor? like, in the Facebook example, I won't have the 40000$ for 100 Facebook stocks to sell if someone actually uses the contract, can I still use the method?

[@TheOrlandoWedding]

Hey Henry, Robinhood just allowed me to select up to 1 option, it say if i want to build a strategy that is more that one option i need to place a separate order

[@kael2004]

The reason your Amazon call didn’t work is because your dte was in 2022. Not aug 20.

[@soniapatel3509]

Hey, I love your video. I do know about credit spreads, iron condor and option selling in general. My account blew up last year when I took my eye off the ball. There's only around $600 in there which I'd like to build up again. What stocks would you recommend for iron condors. Or maybe SPY?

[@ikaos.4338]

Great content, Henry! Keep up the good work!

[@InvestKaye]

Great pick as chances of Facebook trading sideways in the corridor is highly likely. Thanks for explaining this concept so simply as it makes complete sense now.

[@justask6607]

dnt you need to own the stocks to sell the buy and put options? to collect the premium please explain to the fullest

[@caearthquakesociety2705]

Mr. Henry. What platform are you using? I checked my trading platform and the Condors are already preset strike prices, even when adjusting the width of the spreads.

[@adidastat1255]

? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the "why" with calls. I.e if I am watching XYZ from $2 a share to 3.50 in a months period and I expect it to go to $5 by the next 30 day cycle.... would I buy a long call for $7 or closer to the 3.50 price point it is already at?

[@markgrant5224]

Great Video Henry, you do explain options very well. I have to re-ask a question from the previous comments. Is it ok to allow the options to expire on the expiration date. If the stock price is still between your spreads do you lose anything by just letting it expire?

[@InvestwithHenry]

Yes, absolutely

Hi Henry, thanks for the tutorial. I’m sorry to say I’m to much of a novice to understand completely. I’m still lost on how to buy a put and sell a put if I don’t own the shares. I don’t want to click on the wrong button and lose my capital. Is there a app I can use to practice?

[@hugodesiderio2367]

I love your videos, so full of information. I can’t wait to make more money to trade like you do😎 I do have a question though. For an Iron Condor do we have to wait until it expires to collect or can we close and collect at any point?

[@InvestwithHenry]

You can close

[@hugodesiderio2367]

@@InvestwithHenry Thank you. Do you have any videos explaining entry points? I’ve been watching videos on charts but I’m not feeling fully confident in entering a trade. When I back out I see that it would have worked 😔

[@djshotzny]

So basically i can open an iron condor on Monday and buy it back on Tuesday? Considering we are just collecting premiums

[@alexpoon9048]

What is the delta u choose

[@AdmiralDB]

Can you 3day and weekly trade iron condors using etfs? Like is this bad to do?

[@finalj7507]

Are there any other delta neutral strategies that you would suggest work well? I read something on Investopedia about a reverse futures option contracts, but don't have the capital or know how to implement that.

[@attractionamplified]

What would you do if the price went between 3450/3445 prior to expiration?

[@Hawke301]

What's the collateral requirement for the Iron Condor you set up on FB?

[@NevilleFreeman]

So do i have to wait until expiration to close the contract? and also how do you close the contracts?

[@InvestwithHenry]

You don't have to

[@sengtheking]

The problem is these orders are hard to fill. It may never get fill throughout the day.

[@rkanagala]

Very Informative and easy to understand. Question - when you sell Puts to begin with don't your trader ask for "Cash security" against the Put selling? For large stocks like AMZN it is difficult to have large capital secured in your account

[@Michael-st9ky]

Not if you also buy a put, your broker will use your long put to cover the short put

[@peteuthai]

Oh wow, thank you for the clear explanation!

[@christianf.8973]

what can we do if its near to be into the red?

[@kcsnew]

You mentioned free training, but actually I was asked fee $1200 to join the academy, I have been watching your videos and got excited and wanted join, but could not after hearing that kind of a fee. Cheers.

[@InvestwithHenry]

The training is the video you watch. Naturally, there is an investment required to work with a large team of option experts guiding you to success, but just like everything else, you get what you pay for. At the end of the day, it’s not just about what the investment is but also what you get in return. Rather than continuing to search the internet trying to learn options from 10 different sources and not know what’s important and what’s not, with this program you’ll have access to everything in a centralized location, and learn from someone who has a proven track record of success. Think of the time saved and the compounding returns as you are able to win 8-9/10 trades and make 1% returns (at minimum) consistently each week. I’ve annualized 80% and show all results in spread sheet students follow. Results do vary but I have yet to see someone do poorly as I continue to beat the market every month. If you can’t invest in yourself then you shouldn’t be trading options. The most expensive mistake can be a misinformed trade. It will kill your confidence and your brokerage account.

[@ts15210]

I thought all four legs have the same expiration....at 13:04 all of a sudden we're in january for the call side? maybe the $5 call gap exists on the original date and you could have done it with amzn afterall?

[@froggy9068]

[@harryvirk3170]

Thanks for your educational video. How come you never talk and educate people about assignment risk in this kind of trading strategy. When you are buying in the money there is a very good chance that put sell side can be assigned to you. Its big risk which everybody must be aware of. You only talk about positive side of strategy. You must warn people about negative side also otherwise people specially beginner can lose money using. your strategy.

[@Michael-st9ky]

The sell call side is also a risk, typically we want to sell before expiry

[@TheLustz]
