    It allows you to overwrite. There is zero advantage in shorting the natural.

    In all ways the synth is better. Microstructure (no ITM), OWs, reduce/increase size on equity signals. Ability to alter the position w/o taking short-term gain treatment. Shares take a shit and you close a portion of the underlying in 2021 against a 2022 vol-position.

    It's arbitrary. I was using that as a standard for which to base the 40D net on the 3x1.
