    Managing delta on naked short put

    How low does open interest have to drop before I have to start worrying about early assignment? When does it make sense for the long to exercise early for a put? I assume the Dec put is safe for now unless it goes DITM and wipes out the TV? Thanks!

    Here are the positions: Short AAPL Nov 170 Put @ 1.8 (~25k open interest) Short AAPL Dec 170 Put @ 2.7 (~8500 open interest) How would you rate the assignment risk of these? I've been told as long as there's TV left, it doesn't make sense for the long to exercise. Any thoughts? Thanks!
