In this video, I explain why I moved away from Iron Condors in favor of the Wheel strategy, which offers a cleaner, more sustainable income approach that fits into a busy lifestyle without requiring you to be glued to your charts. We’ll compare the mechanical execution and risk profiles of both, showing you why simplicity is a feature—not a limitation—when building an income engine that you can run for the rest of your life.
