"""OPT05 — Delta-Hedged Short Straddle (Variance Premium Harvest) IDEA: Sell ATM straddle every N days, delta-hedge daily with ACTUAL price moves. Net P&L = IV-RV spread (the variance risk premium). HONEST APPROACH — Direct P&L Simulation (avoids BS gamma approximation errors): 1. At roll date i0: sell ATM straddle. Receive premium P = 2*BSCall(S0,S0,T,IV). 2. Compute initial delta hedge: delta_straddle = delta_call + delta_put = N(d1) - N(-d1) ≈ 0 ATM. Set delta_hedge_position h0 = -delta_straddle ≈ 0 at initiation. 3. Each subsequent bar k: compute new delta at current S_k, T_remaining. Rebalance: dh = new_delta - old_delta. Hedge cost includes: (a) Slippage/market-impact on spot hedge: dh * S_k * fee_hedge (spot fee per side) (b) The actual mark-to-market P&L of the short straddle: delta_PnL = -(C(S_k, K, T_k) + P(S_k, K, T_k) - C(S_{k-1}, K, T_{k-1}) - P(S_{k-1}, K, T_{k-1})) plus hedge_PnL = h * (S_k - S_{k-1}) 4. At expiry: close position at intrinsic value. Total cycle P&L = option_premium - (intrinsic_at_expiry + sum_of_theta_adj + hedge_slippage) This simulation directly uses ACTUAL price moves, so: - Big moves (jumps) correctly cause large losses - Small/quiet periods correctly generate theta income - Discrete rebalancing frequency exactly matches daily bars KEY METRICS EXPECTED: - Crypto IV ≈ 60-80%, RV ≈ 40-65%: IV>RV on average → net positive - But crypto has fat tails: occasional -10%/-20% single-day moves devastate short gamma - Expected Sharpe: 0.3–0.8 if honestly modeled (not 4.0) GATE: Only enter when DVOL/RV_20d >= gate threshold (IV-rich condition). GRID: roll_days in {7, 14} x iv_rv_gate in {1.10, 1.20} → 4 configs, 1d TF only. CAVEAT: - MODELED on DVOL ATM. Skew not modeled (OTM puts have higher IV in practice). - Straddle sell assumes fills at mid; real execution has bid-ask spread. - Tail risk (e.g., BTC -30% day) not captured via DVOL history smoothing. - DVOL history starts 2021-03 → backtest from 2021-03 only. - Lead-only; not for deployment without real options data. Style: study_weights (continuous modeled position evaluated via standalone P&L series).
