Never Close One Leg of a Spread Explained | EdgeOS Trading System | TraderValue #Shorts
EDGEOS SYSTEM EXPLAINED: NEVER CLOSE ONE LEG OF A SPREAD A defined risk strategy (iron condor, iron butterfly, vertical spread) works because BOTH legs are open simultaneously - the short leg caps your loss, the long leg is your insurance. Closing just one leg destroys the defined-risk structure. You go from knowing your exact max loss to potentially unlimited exposure. This is one of the most dangerous and common mistakes options traders make. How to read it: Iron condor = bull put spread + bear call spread. Both must stay open together If market rallies and you close ONLY the put spread (winner), you hold a naked call spread That remaining call spread can now blow up if the rally continues - no put hedge Closing the short leg alone leaves an unhedged long that still costs theta daily Key insight: In high-IV environments closing a 'winning' leg early feels right - but the remaining short naked leg can spike violently on any reversal By the numbers: Closing one leg of a spread = converting defined risk to undefined risk. Naked short options have theoretically unlimited loss. Never do this.
