📚 Credit Spread Rules
Min ROI: Aim for β‰₯25% ROI on capital at risk. Below 20% = not worth the assignment risk.
Width vs credit: Net credit should be β‰₯33% of spread width. ($5 wide β†’ aim for $1.65+ credit)
DTE sweet spot: 21–45 DTE captures theta decay without too much gamma risk near expiry.
Delta guideline: Short strike near 25–30 delta = good balance of premium vs probability.
Management: Consider closing at 50% of max profit to reduce risk. Never let go to expiry with short ITM.
