For the benefit of those less experienced who think about doing what you're doing...
What was your analysis/realization/process for when you knew you could most likely make this gig work? Did that happen before or did you take much of a leap of faith?
\----
What are your preferred investment and/or trading vehicles, sectors, etc?
You should be focusing more on BOJ (dec19) rate hike, since majority of US funds are using offshore liquidity. Banks stressing out, with ATH markets, fed prints. Plus Theta is going to eat it over time, if not much movement happens and seems like you don't plan on holding long (not a leap).
You can simply wait out for IV to cool down and load again. But any IV spike I would recommend to trim position up to 75%, in case you are eager you can load back 25%. Have some profits locked for sanity.
