What is a inverse iron condor?

DirectionalLimited ProfitLimited Loss

The opposite of a iron condor, and similar to a short iron butterfly, but with a wider unprofitable range and better potential profit.

If volatility increases, the profitable range and chance of profit will increase as well. Time is harmful when the position is unprofitable, but helpful once it becomes profitable.
