Notable Quotes 2
As discussed, sharp moves up in oil (WTI is up 6% intraday today) are also negative to a short straddle strategy that is delta hedged daily, as it causes realized vol to increase, potentially beyond expectations.
If one expects this environment of high realized vol to be short lived, the trade continues to make sense. If one expects it to be a continued paradigm, it might make sense to revisit holding this strategy.
