December RUT Unbalanced Iron Condor

Trade Details:

20 December RUT 1380/1370 Credit Put spreads  @0.57 Credit ($1140)
  5 December RUT 1570/1580 Credit Call spreads @0.92 Credit ($460)

Net Credit: $1,600
Days to Expiration: 43

Second position of the December 2017 monthly options expiration cycle. Playing the 4:1 Puts to Calls ratio once again that will allow to further delay any adjustment on the Call side should the market keep rallying endlessly.

I had to go with the strike prices that are multiple of ten, i.e 1570 instead of 1575, which I would have preferred but never got filled on. 1575 on the Call side and 1375 on the Put side, both have significantly smaller volume and open interest at this point as they became available just a few days ago.
