A long call condor consists of four different call options of the same expiration. 1 long in the money call, 1 short higher strike call, 1 short even higher strike call, 1 long highest strike call.&#x20;

One can think of the strategy involving going simultaneously long a lower strike pair call spread and short a higher strike pair call spread.

An iron condor consists of 2 option pairs. Selling a put spread ( selling a closer to the money put and buying an out of the money put ) and selling a call spread ( selling a closer to the money call and buying an out of the money call ); one earns premium which is the highest potential upside of the trade and posts collateral.
