October 2017 SPX Unbalanced Iron Condor

Trade Details:

20 October SPX 2260/2250 Credit Put spreads  0.55 Credit ($1100)
8   October SPX 2540/2545 Credit Call spreads 0.50 Credit ($400)

Net Credit: $1,500
Days to Expiration: 56
Current SPX price barely above the 50-day average, so I'm being very conservative on the Call side here.

Trade Update - September 18, 2017

Closed 8 October SPX 2540/2545 Credit Call spreads 1.05 Dedit
Original Credit was 0.50 per spread.
Net loss is 0.55 or $440 in dollar terms for eight spreads

The 2260/2250 Put side remains in play

Trade Update - October 20, 2017

20 October SPX 2260/2250 Credit Put spreads expire for max profit ($1100)

Combining these gains from the Put side with the earlier losses of the Call side ($440), the October SPX Unbalanced Iron Condor ends up as a $660 winner.
