How do you decide on capital allocation? These are not equal weighted. So is it based on some historical simulations or beta weighted. There are different strategies too, like Calendar vs fly's in different instruments which is difficult to simulate.

A lot of factors. The AAPL allocation was light due to my perception of the probability of flipping deltas. It's only 1.30 over the body strike. The initial D is -100, but it's almost a pure gamma and ddecay trade. It's neutral 50 cents lower. So it appears that I am leaning short, but on Monday this thing will be neutral here at 186.25 on shares.

But the liquidity was there. Thats a rule too.

How would you know the liquidity is there with zero volume and a 16 OI? Not trying to lean on you, just stating that there is no liquidity... at all.

All good.
