Matthew Schaefer

smaller account, so i might throw out a wider strangle in a higher priced underlying

Marc Cohen

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

Dave Williamson

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

Brian Silcott

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.

Janaki N

bcos the high iv is factoring chances of more volatility and it can be up or down
