3. Feasibility & Mean-Reversion Telemetry

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

Breakeven Line$17.81Short strike minus credit
Move Needed to Win+0.00%In The Money
Expected Move (1σ)±5.98%Volatility over remaining DTE
Feasibility Ratio0.00x EMThreshold: ≤ 1.25x EM
Long Wing Barrier$17.00Structural floor intact
Feasibility Rule Status: Feasible (Recovery Projected). The required move to breakeven (0.00%) represents only 0% of the statistical expected move over the remaining holding window, meaning mean reversion remains highly feasible.
