Sure. The best stay consistent, with some modifications like increased hedging qty ![]()
The 500 straddle profit would then be significantly reduced(for example, with a iron condor). Too risky for a straddle. A plain CE buy would be less risky. Maybe a strangle⦠but that would really skew the risk reward compared to straddle.

The confidence can only come from years of backtest (and profitability)
- Straddle is by itself a partial hedged position under most market conditions (not the current one)
- You can then adjust as you go ID, by adding more OS and OB

I know for a fact that extra hedges (other than CTM ID adjustments) eat into overall profitability as per the backtest (and live trades) of every single year, but I still do them just b4 eod, more-so in the Trump era. I have even named them āpomā hedges (peace of mind hedges)
