September 2014 SPX Iron Condor

On Thursday I opened an SPX Iron Condor:

September $SPX Iron Condor. 1815/1820/2065/2070   for .85 credit a few mins. ago
— The Lazy Trader (@lazytrading) July 24, 2014

For the model portfolio that is 4 contracts per leg.
Max Risk: 4.15 ($1660)
Max profit: 0.85 ($340)
Days to expiration: 57

I didn't write and article on Thursday as I couldn't find the time to do so. But I'm doing it now to keep a reference to the trade entry in a single article and not mixed up with the Weekend Portfolio Analysis that I'll write up after this.

Here's a chart of the SPX Index as of July 25 market close

With this trade these are the current positions in the model portfolio:
August RUT 1050/1060/1260/1270 Iron Condor $292 credit
September RUT 980/990 Bull Put Spread $120 credit 
September SPX 1815/1820/2065/2070 Iron Condor $340 credit

Everything's looking good right now and no position is under threat for the time being.
