Trade Update - May 17, 2018
Closed the entire Call side of the Elephant:
7 SPX June 2780/2790 Credit Call spreads @2.20 Debit
Original credit received was 1.00, so this is a net 1.20 loss per spread (-$840 for 7 spreads)
7 SPY June 279 Calls @0.67 Credit
Original debit paid was 0.47, so this is a 0.20 gain per contract (+$140 for 7 contracts)
The Call side of the Elephant results in a -$700 loss.
The Put side remains in play, virtually a winner now very far out of the money and with a total credit collected that is greater than today's loss on the Call side, which will make the position a small net winner in the end.

1 SPY June 251 Calls @0.03 Credit
