Deep dives

Sizing the Theta Engine for the Vibranium Shield as a Standalone

If the Vibranium Shield is used as a standalone, the allocation size and profit target for the theta engine should be set accordingly. For example, if a 3% allocation is made for long puts, the theta engine should have a profit target of 3%, resulting in a net zero or close to net zero outcome. This strategy is ideal for downside lotto scenarios or hedging other portfolios with downside risk.
