September 2017 SPX Unbalanced Iron Condor

Trade Details:

20 September SPX 2310/2300 Credit Put spreads  0.55 Credit ($1100)
5   September SPX 2550/2560 Credit Call spreads 0.80 Credit ($400)

Net Credit: $1,500
Days to Expiration: 57
Once again I decided to go with a 4:1 ratio of Puts to Calls instead of my usual 2:1. By playing 4:1 ratio, I will be able to delay Call side adjustment on this new August position up to SPX 2,545. All in exchange for less overall credit in dollar terms than usual.
