What??!! Can’t really understand this one. But sounds like Kai is saying that there is a <1% chance of strangle losing an amount that is the same as premium collected. Iron Condors on the other hand, have 4% chance of losing BPR. As a result, portfolio is more volatile if it comprises mainly of defined risk trades. I need to look at this more in depth.
