Suppose I'd like to have 10 % of my portfolio allocated to "long volatility" by rolling straddles .

Obviously going all in on one trade implies significant risk of losing all the money. Does anyone know how one could structure such a strategy i.e some kind of simple way to keep a decent amount of capital over time, I do count on losing some of it since this is suppose to act as a hedge. Or does anyone know a way one could think about how to structure the buys?

google kelly criterion.

Note whilst some like Buffet follow it in full, some others just take half the sizing to reduce the risks..
