OptionAlert Indices

Description

OptionAlert Indices is a model portfolio with a starting capital is set at EUR 20,000. The buy and sell selection of the option series is carried out by an experienced research team led by Harm van Wijk. The portfolio is managed according to strict rules. By strictly applying this method, you can expect a high annual return. An Iron condor is an option combination of a (same number of) Call + Put with different strike prices (strikes).

An Iron condor is an option combination of a (same number of) Call + Put with different strike prices (strikes) and the same expiration date where the written (short) options are covered by the bought (long) options.

An Iron Condor is a short strangle in which the short option positions are covered by the long options. In other words, it is an option construction where 1 bull (short) put spread is combined with a bear (short) call spread. An Iron Condor is, just like the short strangle, also a neutral option strategy.

An Iron Condor collects a premium.

An Iron condor seller expects a neutral market in which the index expires around or preferably within the short strike prices of the Iron condor.

Calls and puts are out-of-the-money
Both the short call and the short put are out-of-the-money: the strike price of the short call is above the current value of the index above and also where another call with a higher strike price is bought to hedge the risk. The strike price of the short put is below the current value of the index and where a lower put is bought to hedge the risk of the short put.

If the index rises substantially, the value of the call option increases. If, on the other hand, the price of the index falls substantially, the value of the put option increases.

Profit and loss schedule Iron condor
The maximum profit for an Iron condor is the premium received at expiration, only if the price of the underlying value on expiration is between the strike prices of the short call and the short put.

When the index is in a downward trend, a covered straddle will be chosen instead of an Iron condor. A call and a put are sold short with the same strike price, hence a short straddle, whereas simultaneously the downside risk is covered by a large put. Bottom line: also premium is being collected here as well.
