In a market correction, closing the option is often the simplest and most definitive way to manage risk.
-
Original Thesis is Broken: If the market movement suggests your fundamental reason for the trade is no longer valid, closing the position is the best way to avoid further losses 。
-
Risk Management Threshold: You hit your pre-defined stop-loss point. Taking the small loss now prevents it from turning into a large one if the correction accelerates。
-
Non-Viable Position: The option is now so far Out-of-the-Money (OTM) (for a long option) or so deep In-the-Money (ITM) against a short option that recovery is highly unlikely, and the cost of rolling is too high 。
-
Free Up Capital: Closing the trade frees up capital and margin that can be used for a new trade that aligns better with the current market environment 。
