Closed MOS Covered Call/Iron Condor Position – Loss of $80, would have been much larger loss without IC

Yesterday we closed the position on MOS for a small loss. We opened the position as a covered call on 2/18/21 when we purchased 2,000 shares of MOS @$28.88 and sold 20 Mar 5 $29 Call options @$1.73. Shares jumped in price (blue line) but quickly fell back. We sold the shares on 2/26 for a small gain. When the stock was appreciating we rolled the short options up (to $30, $31, $33) as the losses on the short options were offsetting the stock gain. When the stock quickly pulled back the option premiums on the higher strike price were not enough to offset the losses on the stock. When we shut down the covered call the position we had lost over $3,500 on the options. We established the Iron Condor on 2/24/21. 30 Contracts April 16 +27P/-$29P and -$37C/+$39C. The IC performed well getting the overall position back to a loss of $80 (yellow and red lines).
