iron condor scanner
Iron condor scanner that respects the range.
An iron condor is a range thesis. The scanner should make that thesis explicit: where the market expects movement, how volatility is behaving, and whether the wings are tradeable.
Problem
Why this search usually means more than a filter.
- A condor can look attractive until one wing is illiquid or the expected move is too close to the short strikes.
- Sideways strategy fit changes when volatility expands, compresses, or enters an event window.
- Condor comparison is hard when payoff, skew, and liquidity are split across different screens.
Workflow
How Spread Foundry handles the job.
- 01
Confirm sideways fit
The strategy family earns attention only when market posture and symbol context support a range-bound review.
- 02
Build around expected move
Candidate wings are reviewed against expected move, skew, term structure, and strike concentration.
- 03
Keep risk symmetric
Both sides of the condor carry quality and scenario checks so weak wings cannot hide inside aggregate metrics.
Why Spread Foundry
Built for reviewable decisions.
- Spread quality is evaluated at the leg level and structure level.
- Volatility context is shown before candidate ranking becomes the focus.
- Review notes travel with the watched idea or position.
Questions
Common concerns.
- Can the scanner compare multiple iron condors?
- Yes. The intended workflow compares candidates by structure, premium, width, liquidity, expected move, and scenario behavior.
- Does it assume sideways markets are safe?
- No. The page is built around range risk, event risk, and the fact that defined-risk structures still need active review.
