🛠️ Core Exit Logic
While the nominal gain on this trade is minimal $0.15 or 4.0%, exiting after a single day’s holding period is a tactical capital allocation decision driven by early shifts in the volatility environment.
Volatility is not currently elevated, but it is starting to get bid across the space. Remaining short a put as implied volatility begins to expand presents an asymmetric risk-reward profile for a low realized gain. Closing the position now locks in a clean positive exit rather than leaving capital exposed to vega expansion.
