About Iron Condor Buddy
Recommendation Performance
How each daily batch of Pro-plan recommendations would have fared if the iron condor was closed out every Friday at 12:00pm ET until expiration. Columns show the number of profitable trades out of that batch's Pro-plan total at each weekly mark (categorized by weeks remaining to expiration). Each leg is valued at its actual daily price — the (open + close) / 2 of the historical option trading on the Friday close-out date.

Methodology: recommendations are marked weekly on Fridays at 12:00pm ET from the day after each batch is published through expiration (inclusive). Trades counted here are Pro-plan recommendations (free users see half of each daily batch). For each of the four legs, the option's daily price is used - (open + close) / 2 of its trading on that Friday. A trade is counted as profitable when the entry net credit exceeds the cost to close all four legs at those prices. If option data is unavailable for a date, that mark is excluded (shown as —) rather than estimated.
