THE IRON CONDOR STRATEGY - KING OF TIME DECAY STRATEGIES

The Iron Condor Spread is one of the most  popular trades of all Options trades, and it is the undisputed "King of  Time Decay or Income strategies". It is special because you get to double  the premium collected, reduce your risk levels as compared to normal credit spreads,  double the amount of time decay, and maintain a delta neutral position, at  least when the trade is first put on. The negative with the strategy is that  it's a heavily Vega negative position. We dissect the Iron Condor in this  trade, put on a real trade on AAPL, and take it through a couple of weeks. We  analyze the risks, set adjustment points, and discuss suitable adjustment  strategies for different market situations as the trade develops.

Was looking for adjustment; unfortunately all was presented in the course was some verbal explanation as to how to adjust which was not helpful without any live/mock demonstration. Pretty disappointed.
