DELTA-NEUTRAL PORTFOLIO STRUCTURING

You can Gamma Scalp and harvest Theta. You have built Vega positions around catalysts and exploited the Skew. You understand each trade, you know the Greeks and you know the failure modes.
Now put them all on at the same time. That is where most sophisticated options traders discover a new class of problem. Individual positions that were profitable in isolation interact in ways that are not immediately visible. A Gamma Scalp that generated steady income all month is neutralized by Theta decay two rows down in your P&L screen. An Iron Condor that looks comfortably short Vega suddenly shares risk with the long-Vega Straddle you opened the same week. Correlations that held at 0.35 in normal markets spike to 0.87 the moment VIX jumps from 16 to 32. The portfolio is not the sum of its positions. It is an organism and organisms behave differently than their parts. This book teaches you to manage the organism.
You will learn:

• How to read and manage a portfolio of options positions as a single aggregate Greek entity, not a collection of individual bets
• How to build a Greek Budget Framework: target exposures, allocation rules, and position sizing that answers to the portfolio, not individual conviction
• How to identify hidden correlation risk, the uncorrelated positions that become one trade in a crisis
• When to adjust, when to hold, and when to do nothing, the daily discipline that separates portfolio managers from position traders
• How to stress test the book through VIX spikes and regime changes before the market does it for you
• How to run three complete portfolio cycles: construction, crisis management, and deliberate simplification
• How to attribute P&L to what is actually working, not what you think is working
