SELL -1 IRON CONDOR BYND 100 (Weeklys) 7 AUG 20 130/140/130/120 CALL/PUT @8.32 LMT
In this case I want to sell the Iron Condor.
1. IVP - 47%
2. IV earnings is - 158%
3. Normal IV - 70-80%
4. R/R = $173 Risk to $322 Reward
Trade done for a hefty $832 credit, on a $1000 wide contract.
ALL you need is tomorrow this should open between 120 - 140. If it doesn't you lose $173. If it does, you are profitable and leg out.
This is the only scenario I like selling Iron Condor.

You can do something like this - the credit wont change much thanks to high IV.

Earnings reported - As long as it trades tomorrow between 134 and 139, you are in the best shape.
With all the adjustment and the credits received. 128-144 profitable. So manage accordingly.
This might go down to 120, there is not enough excitement here in the market action. if it happens, close the winning side and wait for the retracement to close the other side.
