3. Feasibility & Mean-Reversion Telemetry

Contextual stop-loss monitoring: required move to breakeven vs. remaining DTE expected volatility

Breakeven Line$23.85Short strike minus credit
Move Needed to Win+0.91%+$0.21 to BE
Expected Move (1σ)±3.27%Volatility over remaining DTE
Feasibility Ratio0.28x EMThreshold: ≤ 1.25x EM
Long Wing Barrier$23.50Structural floor intact
Feasibility Rule Status: Feasible (Recovery Projected). The required move to breakeven (0.91%) represents only 28% of the statistical expected move over the remaining holding window, meaning mean reversion remains highly feasible.

Risk Management Note: This trade collected $15.00 upfront. When the spread widened, the position management system executed the stop-loss discipline, closing the spread at $0.30. This successfully eliminated tail risk and preserved $20.00 that was otherwise exposed under the full spread width.
