Premium lately


#1

Lately the premium on NQ has been around 60 on each side. That isn’t enough for me to feel confident on putting on a iron condor. Does anyone know when the premium will get back to normal to put on these iron condors? Maybe the first week of the new year?


#2

Bump.

Anyone have an idea?


#3

Probably low volume, the week after Christmas and before news year is always slow as most of the western world is on vacation.

That’s what i was thinking, cause on my IZSS chart the volume barely meets expectations. I just hope the IV is better next week after the new year.

Hi CARUSO, I am new to Iron Condors so just wanted to know how much premium do you normally see on each side for the indices. Thanks.


#6

At least 80-90 on each side for NQ. I don’t know about the others, I only trade NQ


#7

I am assuming that high of a premium would normally be seen on the Daily indices and with plenty of time to close , at least 10-12 hours to expiration. Am i right on that ? Thanks

i enter right at 6:00 the night before once the NQ contracts become available on Nadex. Sometimes if the premium is low at 6:00 you can wait till 12 and it will be higher. Others time it would just be low all night and in those cases I wont trade.
