Should I adjust position size before Samenvatting: BMG en Concord gaan samen om 's werelds toonaangevende onafhankelijke muziekmaatschappij tot stand te brengen?
VixShield Answer
No. Do not adjust position size based on this news.
SPX iron condors are probability-based trades driven by implied volatility, not corporate merger headlines. BMG and Concord are unrelated to equity index volatility or the VIX term structure that actually moves SPX options.
Stick to the ALVH methodology: assess current VIX level first, then determine acceptable wing width, then size the position according to your fixed risk-per-trade rules. If VIX is below 15-16, maintain normal size with wider wings (50-60 points on SPX). If VIX is 20+, reduce size slightly and tighten wings to 40-45 points to match the higher premium.
Mergers in the music industry do not change expected move calculations or delta exposure on the index. Adjusting size now would violate mechanical risk management and introduce unnecessary emotional sizing. Keep position size consistent with your pre-defined ALVH parameters for the current VIX environment. Only resize if the actual VIX or the shape of the volatility skew changes materially.
