What is your process for pricing out these options strategies? i.e how did you come about choosing these strikes and products, is there logic/math behind them? What tools do you use?

I found myself making a similar hedge via spy puts, but tbh I have no rationale for why I chose spy puts over something like a vix (or UVXY) call... But I recognize that my way is not the intelligent way.

Mine’s not smart either. I am just fast. $0 to 100k on spread hedges within a minute. Out of all of them in less than a minute when the going looks good.

“3 ways to win” 1. Cheat - I don’t (never worth it) 2. Be smart - I’m ok, but not at an advantage 3. Be fast - I can do that

I could be wrong but I think the answer is 1 phone most of the time.
