&gt; When you open a long iron condor you immediately receive a credit  
  
 You'd pay a net debit for a long iron condor and a net credit for a short iron condor. Welcome home, you belong here

### REPLY:
Actually it looks like the terms long/short are applied inconsistently to iron condors. A few other people mentioned this and linked the Fidelity definition, but then I linked a few examples (including wikipedia) that support my use of the term. Investopedia and tasty trades avoid saying long/short altogether wrt iron condors. 
  
 so blow me
