Common questions

What is the max profit on an iron condor?
The net credit received — kept in full when the stock finishes between the two short strikes at expiry.
What is the max loss?
(Wing width − net credit) × 100, hit if the stock finishes beyond either long wing.
When do iron condors work best?
Range-bound markets with elevated implied volatility: the position is short volatility and profits from time decay while the price stays inside the range.

Educational model, not trade advice. Options involve substantial risk and are not suitable for every investor — read the OCC’s Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. Model values use Black-Scholes with your inputs (constant volatility, European exercise, no dividends) and will differ from live market prices.

Research and education only — not financial advice. TENKis not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer and gives no personalized advice. Every call is impersonal — identical for all users, generated on a schedule from SEC filings plus a delayed/third-party price feed — may be wrong or out of date, and is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. The operator and an affiliated trading operation may hold or trade the securities TENK rates; see Disclosures. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Do your own research.
