Spent more than an hour trying to get filled on $RUT Feb. 940/930 Credit Put spread for 0.60 credit. No fills. Unbelievable. Wont chase.

The above tweets say it all. We reached an oversold condition on Thursday. I first tried a Credit Put spread with RUT but was not getting filled. I wanted RUT as it was farther from its main moving averages and has fallen more from its peak. Therefore, it is more oversold than SPX. But seeing that I was not getting filled, and not wanting to miss the opportunity, I went with SPX, with which the order was filled immediately.Trade Details:
SELL 7 SPX March 1675 Put (@12.25)
BUY 7 SPX March 1650 Put (@10.50)
Net Credit: $1,225
Max Risk: $16,275
Days to Expiration:71
Note to LTOptions members: The content update on why I am experimenting with these longer dated options is taking me longer than I expected. So, this Saturday I will send an email with the basic points and how I plan to manage these positions. This email will then give me time to complete the documentation.

Trade Update - January 27, 2016
Closed position at 1.70 debit during morning market rebound (link to time-stamped tweet). Profit is 0.05 or $35 in monetary terms for 7 spreads. Closing early to alleviate triple downside exposure in the portfolio. Only Two Credit Put spreads on after this and no Credit Call spread at the moment.
