Trade idea Defined risk trade

If IVR remains elevated, it is preferable to defend and adjust the position. This is based on the idea that defined risk trades have a 60% chance of reaching the strike price. If volatility collapses, the position should be closed as it may be exposed to significant risk. The strategy involves reducing delta by 50% if the trade is a defined risk strategy.
