Mundy - I'm chicken, that's why iron condors. I hate losing
money. I keep about 90% of my account in cash most times. Actually
my cash is higher than my net liq value but that's because I'm
primarily a premium seller. The 10% is my risk on the table.
Because I use so little capital, when one side of condor gets
challenged, I'm able to roll out and down to give it more
time...but I like to roll down and double at least once in the same
month before I roll out...otherwise I'm giving up that months
income. The doubles get expensive quickly though. I only
trade index options with this strategy. I don't want to deal with
single stocks where going to zero is even a small
probability.
