1. Good trade. When you are trading  Iron Condors as Earning Plays, what process do you use to choose your short strikes? Do u go by standard deviation, or deltas, etc...? When did u close the trade & what was your net credit? Why u did not use weekly options for this trade for a quicker payoff? Thanks in advance for feedback.
2. Right - sorry if I got my strike confused when I said it. Just go off the alert email that's shown in the video. Thanks!
3. you meant 585 call spread, not 185 right? Because you said 185
