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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. As of June 2020 the market stabilized from the COVID crash and the market became optimum for a non-directional strategy such as Pinnacle.
