Cabot Options Institute Quant Trader – Alert (IWM)

iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)

I’ve decided to take our IWM January 17, 2023 iron condor off the table for an 19% return. Yes, the probabilities remain high on the trade, but with only $0.06 to gain over the next 14 days, the risk/reward just doesn’t seem to make sense.

If you wish to hold on to the trade for additional returns please be aware of the risk.

The Trade

Simultaneously:

  • Buy to Close IWM January 20, 2023, 198 call strike
  • Sell to Close IWM January 20, 2023, 202 call strike
  • Buy to Close IWM January 20, 2023, 160 put strike
  • Sell to Close IWM January 20, 2023, 156 put strike…for a total of $0.06. (As always, the price of the spread can vary from the time of the alert, so please adjust accordingly if you wish exit the position.)
