Contraction POP Floor Enabled
Setting key
contraction_pop_floor_enabled
Default
OFF
What it does
Enables the minimum probability of profit floor for the contraction engine. Contraction entries use 16-delta short strikes (approximately one standard deviation OTM), which produce higher delta-based POP estimates around 0.68. The floor is viable for contraction entries once calibrated, but is off by default until measured against real fills.
When to change it
Enable after confirming that contraction entries in your account consistently score above the floor value. At 16-delta shorts a floor of 0.60 may be workable from day one, but verify first.
Safe range
ON or OFF. Default OFF.
Example
16-delta contraction iron condor scores POP 0.68 (1 - 0.16 - 0.16 = 0.68). With contraction floor enabled at 0.60, this entry passes. Tighter short strikes that score 0.55 would be rejected.
