automating options greeks tracking

position sizing is killing me - fixing it with code
been up since 3am coding a proper position sizing module. my current approach (fixed 2% risk per trade) is bleeding me out. down another $8k this week. total drawdown now -$48k since january. at this rate i’ll be broke by august.
upgraded IV rank filtering
the IV rank problem # my original algo only sells premium when IV rank > 40 IV rank = where current IV sits relative to its 52-week range
