Thanks. Not looking good here though.

Yeah, pure luck to see this a couple hours late haha. Went with wider IC so I wouldn't get dragged short as easily. Less gamma / $ risk though. Going to see how this reacts to 2200; premise still seems good but definitely a touchy spot.
 
Can't teach an old dog new tricks...

SPXW Apr17 2700/2800/3000 231 Iron Fly from 96.00 risk (104 cr)

SPXW Apr17 2740/2745/2915/2925 Asymmetrical Iron Condor @ -3.90 credit

This looks good. The only slight concern is if the SPX opens up another 50 points tomorrow - how would you adjust in that situation? Move the put side up?

Also, out of curiosity, why not just go for the 2750-2740 1-lot put, rather than the current 2740-2745 2-lots? This gives a similar P/L graph.

I will be out of this trade if spx >=2900. I'll have to look at the other structure later.
