Iron Condor Strategy Explained for NSE Stock Options

Sell an OTM put and call, buy further OTM wings for defined risk — profits if the stock stays in a range until expiry.

Structure

A classic iron condor sells an out-of-the-money put and call, then buys further out-of-the-money put and call wings. Net credit is collected up front; maximum loss is limited by the wings.

It fits when you expect sideways price action and elevated premium that can decay if the spot stays between the short strikes.

How we simulate it

Our Iron Condor Bot looks for liquid Nifty 50 stock option chains with roughly 5–45 days to expiry, places short put wings near ≤97% of spot and short call wings near ≥103% of spot, and may take profit early when most of the credit is captured.
