Opening (IRA): ARKK Feb 21st 45/50/61/66 Iron Condor

... for a 1.43 credit.

Comments: An additive delta adjustment trade. With the short call of the setup I put on Friday (See Post Below) at -20 delta and the short put at 29, layering in an iron condor with the short call at the -28 delta and the short put at the 20 delta to flatten out net delta of the entire position. This is skewed slightly short to offset the slightly long delta skew of the setup I put on Friday, so am indicating that it's "short."

Metrics:

Max Profit: 1.43
Buying Power Effect: 3.57
ROC at Max: 40.06%
50% Max: .72
ROC at 50% Max: 20.03%

Since you can't close out an eight-legged setup, will either look to take off each iron condor individually at 50% max or mix and match profitable call side with profitable put side to reduce units/risk running into expiry.
