Holding my CL 40-65 strangle actually at 40% looking to close it at 50% profit. Volatility is too low to sell options actually, will probably sell some strangles once we have some decent vol.

That's my biggest concern when I'm selling naked options. Most of the traders tend to worry about directional exposure but they forget about volatility expension.

What's the correlation of futures/commodities during big market crashes?

I disagree with allocating 50% margin in stocks/indexes because they are almost perfectly correlated when markets are down.
