In this episode, I detail a recent Iron Condor trade I ended up rolling up and out due to bullish stock market conditions.

I'll explain how I was able to recenter the Iron Condor around the current price without having to add any more risk to the trade. This allowed me to stay in the trade longer so I could profit from time decay.
