| Max loss | spread width − net credit (here the illustrative spread width is about 0.0088 USD) |
| Breakeven | short put strike − credit, and short call strike + credit |
When to use it — and the risks
When: When you expect ADA to trade in a range with falling or stable volatility into expiry.
Risks: Losses occur on a large move beyond either short strike; defined-risk but the max loss can exceed the credit collected.

Frequently asked questions
What is an iron condor on ADA?
An iron condor on ADA combines a short call spread above the market and a short put spread below it, collecting a net credit that's kept in full if price stays inside both spreads.
How do you set up an iron condor for ADA?
Sell a call spread roughly 0.1834 USD-0.1922 USD and a put spread roughly 0.1572 USD-0.166 USD, bracketing the current 0.1747 USD price. Real strikes and widths should come from the live option chain.
What is the max profit and loss?
Max profit is the credit collected if ADA stays between the short strikes; max loss is the spread width minus that credit if price breaks out either side.
When should you use an iron condor on ADA?
Best when you expect ADA to stay range-bound with falling or stable implied volatility into expiry — not ahead of an event likely to cause a big move.
