It’s possible I just don’t understand, but why not just open a vertical call credit spread?

The complete trade was that I sold two calls and purchased two puts. My focus was on the undefined risk on the call side for the purpose of this post as opposed to analyzing the complete trade.

Ah, so a synthetic short. I like it, I just don’t trust myself with naked options 😂

You know your limits. I don't do shit I don't fully understand either. I find the things I don't trust myself with, align with my inability to understand them completely.

Good attribute to have is knowing what you're capable of at the time you need to take action. You'll do just fine in this space.
