What is an iron condor on COIN?
An iron condor on COIN 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 COIN?
Sell a call spread roughly 184.02 USD-192.79 USD and a put spread roughly 157.73 USD-166.5 USD, bracketing the current 175.26 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 COIN stays between the short strikes; max loss is the spread width minus that credit if price breaks out either side.
