Iron Condor Tracking

Managing Range-Bound Income

The Iron Condor is a staple for options sellers looking to profit from time decay and low volatility. MindTrajour is specifically designed to handle the complexity of 4-leg spreads without the manual grouping required in generic spreadsheets.

How to Journal an Iron Condor

  1. Automatic Detection: When you select the Iron Condor strategy and enter your four strikes (Long Put, Short Put, Short Call, Long Call), MindTrajour automatically recognizes the structure.
  2. Net Premium Tracking: We calculate the total credit received net of commissions, giving you an accurate breakeven zone immediately.
  3. Roll History: One of the hardest parts of Iron Condors is "rolling a side." MindTrajour links your adjustments to the original trade, allowing you to see the true cost of defending a position.

Key Metrics to Audit

  • Delta Exposure: Even though we don't display live Greeks yet, your strike selection reveals your Delta bias. Use the Autopsy Dashboard to see if your condors fail more often on the call side or the put side.
  • Holding Duration: Audit whether you achieve better results by closing at 50% profit or holding closer to expiration.
