and so this is a one of the really fascinating things about owning that option then the the the second thing is that because you structurally have less risk you can actually size your position even larger so if you turn around and you even that max risk point is a fraction of its size because you never hold till it's maturity you can actually increase your sizing of of the spread and have a even more gamma
