OPENING: RUT SEPT 20TH 1350/1360/1640/1650 IRON CONDOR
... for a 2.90 credit.
Metrics:
Max Profit: $290/contract
Max Loss: $710/contract
Break Evens: 1357.10/1642.90
Delta/Theta: -1.01/2.20
Notes: A wider, longer-dated setup camped out at the 16 delta strikes for the expiry for the (ordinarily) sleepy summer months. I'm collecting a little less than my usual one-third the width of the strikes, but wanted more room to be wrong given the duration. Here, I'll look to roll in sides to delta balance as I would with any shorter duration setup, collect additional credit in the process, and shoot for bailing at 50% max.
