Questions about 28 adjustments

What is an option adjustment?

An option adjustment is a change to a live position when the market moves against it, such as buying a hedge, moving a sold strike further away, or closing one leg. It limits damage without closing the whole trade.

Why 28 adjustments?

There are five triggers and six actions. Every pair works except two that would make things worse, adding to a position whose strikes have already converged, which leaves 28 valid combinations.

Can an adjustment fire too often?

No. Every rule carries guards: a maximum number of times a day, a time after which it stops, and a waiting period between adjustments.

When price comes at you, the rule is already there.
