+$120 Profit  |  With $765 Capital 

Gotta love those reliable, uneventful iron condor trades that reach the 50% profit target quickly and can be rinsed-and-repeated month after month!

A case study where I moved up the strikes of my put spread when the call side of my iron condor began to get challenged.

RUT Iron Condor 

+$242 Profit  |  With $755 Capital 

An example of how you can move your strikes for additional credit even if the trade is going well, and also how you can leg out of each side of your iron condor to optimize your exits.

XBI Iron Condor 

+$87 Profit  |  With $420 Capital 

This iron condor cut it very very close... it almost didn't end up profitable but I got out alive the day before expiry. If you've ever been unsure as to whether to close your trade early or not to avoid assignment, watch this case study.

SMH Iron Condor 

+$643 Profit  |  With $160 Capital 

Here's what happens when the underlying runs away from you as soon as you put a trade on. This is living proof that you can still get out alive and even make a handsome profit when a trade DOESN'T go your way. Another interesting thing about this trade is that a good portion of the profit was due to assignment.
