3. Feasibility & Mean-Reversion Telemetry

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

Breakeven Line$128.77Short strike minus credit
Move Needed to Win+0.80%+$1.02 to BE
Expected Move (1σ)±7.07%Volatility over remaining DTE
Feasibility Ratio0.11x EMThreshold: ≤ 1.25x EM
Long Wing Barrier$127.00Structural floor intact
Feasibility Rule Status: Feasible (Recovery Projected). The required move to breakeven (0.80%) represents only 11% of the statistical expected move over the remaining holding window, meaning mean reversion remains highly feasible.
