I started this trade slightly bearish and vega positive, my intention was to capitalize on a down-move as I was expecting it to happen soon after placing the trade. As it turns out, the market did come down but went back up faster than I expected, and the drop in volatility hurt the position to a point where I decided to exit it.
In my mind, the Max profit in the center of the risk profile graph wasn't worth staying for the ride.
