<p>I'm looking for a formula.</p> <p>in plotting format: x = y</p> <p>to be run through a ranged for loop and plotted.</p> <p>the curve starts as a normal bell curve, and become steeper/sharper progressively.</p> <p>the final shape will be close to the rigid polygon of the iron condor.</p> <p>progressively the top becomes wider, and the slopes become steeper.</p> <p><a href="http://sinekpartners.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834525fff69e20133ecf35c3d970b-800wi" rel="nofollow">http://sinekpartners.typepad.com/.a/6a00d834525fff69e20133ecf35c3d970b-800wi</a> <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c2/Condor_strategy.png/220px-Condor_strategy.png" rel="nofollow">http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c2/Condor_strategy.png/220px-Condor_strategy.png</a></p>
