Opened MGM iron condor

I've opened an iron condor for April on MGM, with maximum profit in the range $10 to $12. The shares were trading at $12.31 when I opened the position for a premium credit of 46¢

The structure of the position is p9/-p10/-c12/c13.


My risk is to the upside, because the upper limit of maximum profit is below the top of congestion. However, there is profit at expiration all the way up to $12.47, so it's a risk I can live with.

I analyzed this stock in yesterday's scan.
