More flexibility to roll up or down based on underlying movement.

I consistently sell at 25 delta, and always high IVR.

In my system, in non-trending markets, I go wide. When trending, it's wider to the trend direction & will buy closer (30-45 delta) into price direction.

Not seeing as much value in predefined loss. Capital reduction, protection. Less flexible rolling.

I track a 2X loss, but may or may not close/manage at that point.

Depends upon B/E, suppose we put SL and the MtM loss hit your SL but B/E is intact?
