About Calm Harbour Iron Condor Weekly
Calm Harbour Iron Condor Weekly is a defined-risk income strategy. Each week it sells an iron condor on NIFTY with short strikes placed at one expected move, sized so that the maximum loss is capped at a fixed percentage of allocation. If one side is tested, the algo adjusts once by rolling the untested side closer; a second test triggers an exit.
How it works
- Opens the condor on Friday after the new weekly contract starts trading.
- Short strikes at ±1 expected move; wings 200 points further out.
- One defensive adjustment allowed per week; exits on stop-loss or at 50% of max profit.
- Skips weeks containing scheduled macro events.
White-box strategy: the provider discloses the rules above so you can judge the logic as well as the track record.
