About this strategy

This strategy is a fully automated system which trades options on SPX index with 0DTE (0 Days To Expiration). The trade signals are generated and the positions are managed by our software OptraBot.

The goal of the 0DTE Income Iron Condor strategy is to generate approx. $50 premium per contract and day.

It opens an Iron Condor with 0DTE Options on SPX every day, if there is no existing position from the previous day. One Iron Condor trade consists of 4 legs. As per definition of the Iron Condor the absolute risk is defined by the distance between the short legs and the long legs. In this particular case it is 15 points multiplied by factor 100 it is $1500 absolute max. risk per contract traded.

If certain criteria are met throughout the trading session, the 4 legs of the Iron Condor will be closed and rolled to a new Iron Condor with 1 DTE and double number of contracts. This so called rolled position is then managed. Depending on the market conditions there might second and last roll be executed, but this time the DTE of the options are not changed.

In order to be not in the market, when markets get crazy, the strategy does not enter new trades when the VIX is above 28. Open trades are managed anyway.

It is highly recommended to autotrade this strategy, because it is hard to trade these signals by manual trading. As this is day trading, I suggest checking if your brokerage account is in sync after new positions have been opened.

New subscribers should not join into open positions.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
