The Iron Condor Pinnacle strategy is a conservative, non-directional, income generating, all weather strategy that is optimized for the following conditions:

• It’s optimized for the “New Political Era”. This strategy can handle the volatility that can come out of Washington DC, which can sell-off stocks at any time
• This strategy does well when the market trades sideways and choppy – like it did for almost 20 months, 2018 through Nov 2019, where it was difficult to generate consistent positive gains using stocks, ETFs or indexes.
• As of June 2020 the market stabilized from the COVID crash and the market became optimum for a non-directional strategy such as Pinnacle.  The elevated volatility allows us to bring in higher levels of premium where the strategy should be able to generate 5% to 8% monthly through early 2021.
