Options Myth #4

The Top 1% Trade Iron Condors

OPTIONS MYTH #4

The Top 1% Trade Iron Condors

This is a huge myth perpetuated by many online "gurus." I am a top expert in the world with extensive experience trading with, for, and against the top investors in the world. I have never seen them trade an Iron Condor. So, what do they trade?

The Top 1% Trade Iron Condors

This is a huge myth.

First, in a previous myth we’ve identified options traders as either Volatility Traders or Directional Leverage Traders. We don’t need to talk about Volatility Traders. 

They make up a very small percentage of Options users.

When we talk about the Top 1% of Options Traders, we’re talking about the Top 1% that use options for Directional Leverage. These include:

  • George Soros
  • Warren Buffet
  • Steve Cohen
  • Bill Ackman 

Just to name a few.

These Top 1% of Directional Leverage Traders are not trading the Iron Condor. 
It’s not happening.

In fact, I’ll give you a chance to prove me wrong.

Challenge

On Google, you can find the positions of any hedge fund with their 13Fs.
If you don’t believe me, then I challenge you to find a traditional Hedge Fund that has an Iron Condor in their portfolio. 

I’ll save you the time, you won’t find one because they don’t trade them. 
But I’ll never say never. 

So, what I will do is make the over/under 1 hedge fund.  (not Citadel, DE Shaw, Jane Street, or any other Volatility Trading Hedge Fund)

If you find one …  it would be shocking!

Listen, my education keeps options simple. 

Why?
Because the Top 1% keeps …  options simple. 

You should too.
