Sizing Trades Based on Target Return and Premium Capture Rate

When sizing trades for income strategies, it's crucial to determine how much you aim to earn and the risk you're willing to take. For example, with a target return of $10,000 and a 25% premium capture rate, you would need to sell $40,000 in premium to achieve the goal. By breaking down the premium amount based on occurrences per year and entry frequency, you can set a credit target per trade to reach your desired return.
