│   ├── Low volatility expected
│   │   ├── Wide range → Iron Condor
│   │   ├── Tight range → Iron Butterfly / Short Straddle
│   │   └── Income on stock → Covered Call
│   └── Elevated IV → Sell premium (straddle, condor)
│
├── Moderately Bearish

│
├── Strongly Bearish
│   ├── High conviction → Long Put

### Key Metrics to Evaluate Any Strategy

Max Profit — What's the best case?
Max Loss — What's the worst case?
Breakeven(s) — Where must the stock be to not lose money?
Probability of Profit (POP) — Statistical likelihood of making money
Risk/Reward Ratio — Max profit ÷ Max loss
Days to Expiration (DTE) — Optimal DTE per strategy
Implied Volatility (IV) Rank — Is IV high (sell premium) or low (buy premium)?

### IV Rank Guide

IV RankStrategy Preference< 20Buy premium (long straddle, long calls/puts)20–40Neutral, directional debit spreads40–60Credit spreads, iron condors> 60Sell premium (short straddle, strangle, iron condor)

### Optimal DTE by Strategy Type
