Mouse Ear Iron Condor Options Strategy in TATA MOTORS

Hello guys! I hope your are doing good. In my 12+ years of trading career, I have followed 100s of trading setups but after using hedging strategies, I completely switched on these strategies. I started this blog also to share these strategies with you.

Today's I'm sharing a Mouse Ear Iron Condor options strategy in TATAMOTORS for October, 2023 expiry. So read this post till the end to know what this strategy is and why I choose Mouse Ear Iron Condor options strategy in TATAMOTORS.

Before we move to our strategy, lets understand what Mouse Ear Iron Condor options strategy is?

What is Mouse Ear Iron Condor options strategy?

A mouse ear iron condor is a variation of the iron condor options strategy. It is a directional neutral strategy that profits when the underlying asset price remains within a certain range.

To construct a mouse ear iron condor, a trader will:

1. Buy one lot out-of-the-money (OTM) call option
2. Sell 3 lots further OTM call option
3. Buy 2 lots further OTM call option
4. Buy one lot OTM put option
5. Sell 3 lots further OTM put option
6. Buy 2 lots further OTM put option

It's a ratio spread with 1:3:2 or 1:4:3. Below is the example of Mouse Ear Iron Condor options strategy in Nifty:

The strike prices of the options are chosen so that the two short options are closer to the at-the-money (ATM) strike price, and the two long options are further OTM. This creates a "mouse ear" shape on the options profit and loss (P&L) diagram.

The maximum profit on a mouse ear iron condor is equal to the net credit received when the trade is entered. This profit is achieved when the underlying asset price expires between the two short strike prices.

The maximum loss on a mouse ear iron condor is limited to the difference between the strike prices of the two short options, minus the net credit received. This loss occurs if the underlying asset price expires outside of the two short strike prices.

Mouse ear iron condors are typically used in low-volatility markets. They can be a good way to generate income while reducing risk. However, it is important to note that mouse ear iron condors are still subject to market risk.

Advantages of mouse ear iron condors:

• Lower risk than a regular iron condor
• Wider profit range
• Less vega exposure

Disadvantages of mouse ear iron condors:

• Lower potential profits than a regular iron condor
• More complex to construct and manage

Overall, mouse ear iron condors can be a useful tool for options traders who are looking for a lower-risk strategy with a wider profit range.

I hope now you have understood what Mouse Ear Iron Condor options strategy is. Lets move to our strategy in TATAMOTORS.
