Key takeaways

  1. 010 of 14 tech names pass the current tradeability gate; do not override macro/event blocks casually.
  2. 02Average IV rank is 91.3 with IV-RV spread around -0.0pp; premium is rich.
  3. 03Most common blocker: macro event across 14 names.
  4. 04Position size should still be capped by assignment risk; this report ranks candidates, not conviction.
