3. Feasibility & Mean-Reversion Telemetry

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

Breakeven Line$271.20Short strike minus credit
Move Needed to Win+0.39%+$1.05 to BE
Expected Move (1σ)±6.27%Volatility over remaining DTE
Feasibility Ratio0.06x EMThreshold: ≤ 1.25x EM
Long Wing Barrier$265.00Structural floor intact
Feasibility Rule Status: Feasible (Recovery Projected). The required move to breakeven (0.39%) represents only 6% of the statistical expected move over the remaining holding window, meaning mean reversion remains highly feasible.

Upfront Cash Collected$1,140.003 contracts total

Risk Management Note: This trade collected $1,140.00 upfront. When the spread widened, the position management system executed the stop-loss discipline, closing the spread at market. This successfully eliminated tail risk and preserved $0.00 that was otherwise exposed under the full spread width.
