Episode notes
Use Profit Targets To Boost Capital Efficiency
- Take profit early to improve capital efficiency by completing multiple round trips within a longer DTE window.
- Use average days-in-trade to measure how many times you can hit that profit target per original DTE period.
Speed And PCR Velocity Metrics
- 'Speed' measures how many round trips you can make within the trade's DTE by dividing DTE by average DIT.
- 'PCR velocity' multiplies PCR by speed to reflect premium capture adjusted for trade turnover.
Trade-Offs Of Shorter DTEs
- Lower DTE (e.g., 45) yields faster average DIT and smaller book size but increases capital needs and gamma exposure.
- Shorter DTE trades can be efficient but require more margin and offer less black-swan protection.
