    We’re going to put on an Iron Condor Plus in 31OCT expiration cycle with 47 days until expiration. We’re selling:

    SPX 2460/2450 Bull Put spread
    SPX 2530/2540 Bear Call spread

    Short strike on the put side has a delta around 32 and the short call delta around 30.
    These are 10 point wide credit spreads.

    Our profit target is about 20% of the credit. Our stop is WHEN/IF we’re down the same amount as our profit target, so risking $100 to make $100 (per 1 contract).

    I’m going to try an early exit here. My plan was to capture 20% of profit in about 20-25 days. Based on current mids, I can capture about 8% of credit in 7 days since entry.
