FEB 15, 2022 – ENTER A SPY IRON CONDOR

2/15/22 – With SPY trading $468, and an IVR of around 59%, consider selling a 399/403 466/470 Iron Condor out to April 14th. I collected for 1.58, which which is great considering my strikes are only $4 wide. After entry I set a GTC order to close at 50% of the premium collected ($79).

• Sold 1 SPY 04/14/22 Call 466.00 @ 3.80
