  1. When a long gamma strategy is being used; ie a short calendar, long straddle, or short butterfly what's the minimum ratio of gamma over theta that you guys are willing to accept? Also, with respect to the short calendar, what's the minimum ratio of short vega over theta that you are looking for?
