CHWY Iron Condor Mar 19 $75/$95, $125/$145 Net credit $5.29

Executed a trade today based on a Tastytrade.com recommendation. If you are not familiar with Tastytrade.com I highly recommend you visit the site. I think it is the best web site for learning about options and trading strategies. Today they had a recommendation for an Iron Condor on CHWY. We followed the recommendation but modified the “wings” a bit. Stock was trading at $109 when our trade executed (table below).

Our goal is for the price of CHWY to remain between the strike price of the short put $95 and the strike price of the short call ($125) on Mar 19. Maximum potential profit is $2,646.72 in 31 days (credit received when we established the position). Tastytrade recommend exiting if you hit 50% of max profit or $1,323. Maximum potential loss is $7,353 ($20 spread on put/call strike prices x 500 shares – premium received).

I am looking to gain experience with Iron Condors so this will be ” hands on” learning.
