Iron Condor Command · Why we win by saying no
This Dashboard is the money-maker surface: RSAi™-verified SPXW strikes from ThetaData only, after the 3:05 PM CT product window.
We only print when gates clear — VIX < 20 (Aggressive held 15–19.99; full HOLD if VIX ≥ 20),
EDR / fear-wave in range, no FOMC tomorrow, and a clean cascade lock.
When two systems race and no official_signal locks, we show HOLD — we never invent strikes.
High win percentage is a side effect of that discipline (from Iron Condor Command), not of trading every day.
Public /scorecard is the proof diary — it never shows today’s PLACE strikes until after 3:15 PM CT (anti-theft of the fill window). Home always shows yesterday’s call as proof.
⚠️ Live win rate feeds from official RSAi publishes only (see Scorecard). Placeholder until enough official PLACE days are scored. Hypothetical past backtests are not shown as live results.
Execution Guide
How to execute the signal.
Recommended for all paid tiers. Signal posts at 3:05 PM CST — you have a ~10 minute window to enter before the after-hours session closes. Move with a plan, not in a panic.
📅 Understanding DTE & Overnight Hold
These are next-day expiration SPXW options (technically 1 DTE when entered after market close).
You are buying an Iron Condor after today's market close that will expire tomorrow at 3:00pm CST.
This overnight hold also bypasses Pattern Day Trader rules for accounts under $25k.
Monday–Thursday1 DTE (expires the next day)
Friday3 DTE (expires Monday)
⏱ Place at 3:05 PM CT. Every minute you wait, strikes and premiums drift. Copy Order from the signal card above → paste into your broker → verify 4 legs + credit → send limit order. Practice on paper until copy/paste is automatic and you receive near the predicted premium.
Recommended Brokers · open a guide
First: use 📋 Copy Order ▾ under the strikes above (TOS Desktop / TOS Web / tastytrade / IBKR). Then open your platform guide:
Charles Schwab/thinkorswim is the recommended default. Account opening takes 1–3 business days for approval. Fund with at least $5,000 per spread you want to trade (max risk per 1-contract spread is ~$500; 10 contracts = ~$5,000 max risk).
2
Apply for Level 3+ options approval
Iron Condors require Tier 3 options approval (defined-risk spreads). In thinkorswim: Account → Settings → Options trading approval. Select "Spreads" or Level 3. Requires ~6–12 months trading history or a sufficient account size. Approval usually within 1–3 business days.

⚠ When you see HOLD (VIX > 20)

Signal is ACTIVE but with restrictions. Conservative tier is 🟢 solid green. Balanced tier is 🟡 yellow — tradeable with caution, consider reducing position size. Aggressive tier is 🔴 blocked.
📋 General Guidance
Start with the Conservative tier if you are new to Iron Condors.
Never risk more than 2% of your account on any single trade.
These are next-day expiration SPXW options (1 DTE) Mon–Thu, and 3 DTE on Fridays — entered after market close.
