That's absurd! - If you're trade is long OTM options for $20 total, then how will it blow your entire account?
I"ve looked at TSLA. The IV is definitely higher than the movements, imo, over the longer term. As in most securities. I'm pretty sure TSLA's...
How far out are going at entry? 3 months?
That's odd math - most IC's go in at $5 spreads and target .2 deltas. Net is usually above 20% of total risk - ie, $1+. Which means you have to...

What is the best instrument for selling Condors at about a month or so out right now?
