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

  1. Opens the condor on Friday after the new weekly contract starts trading.
  2. Short strikes at ±1 expected move; wings 200 points further out.
  3. One defensive adjustment allowed per week; exits on stop-loss or at 50% of max profit.
  4. 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.

Risk notes

Iron condors have a high win rate but losses, when they come, are larger than the average win. Sizing keeps the worst case bounded.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the win rate so high?

The condor profits whenever NIFTY stays within the expected move for the week, which historically happens about 70% of the time.

What happens on a big move?

The algo makes a single adjustment on the tested side and exits at the stop-loss if the move continues, capping the loss on the week.

How do I subscribe to Calm Harbour Iron Condor Weekly?

Choose a plan on the pricing page, link your broker account, set your allocation (minimum ₹1,20,000) and the algo starts placing orders from the next session. You pay ₹899 per month plus 15% of net monthly profit above the high-water mark.
