QQQ Iron Condor – 9/10/18

QQQ – 9/10/18 – Iron Condor

Decided to place a QQQ trade on 9/10, really the credit I got was not all that great when I entered the trade. I was trying to stay in the market and liked the strikes I was able to get so decided to go for it.

When I entered this trade it had about a 66% chance of success if held to expiration. With QQQ trading at $181.35 I sold the 10/26 $192.50 Call and purchased the $195.00 Call to cover it. I finished out my Iron Condor by selling the $170.00 Put and purchasing the $167.50 Put.

Part of the reason my credit wasn’t all that great was because I used a $2.50 spread. A larger spread would have given me a larger credit.

I was able to close this trade on 10/4 for a profit of $42.00 or about 10.50%.
