I’m going to put on a NEUTRAL trade with 11 days to expiration.
I’m selling an OTM PUT at 13 delta and an OTM CALL at 10 delta.
My profit target is 50-80% of credit and I will adjust below 300 or above 360.

I’m going to add a Put Butterfly centered at 1490 with a 70 point wing on the downside and a 50 point wing on the upside.
This will complete the scale in protocol and I will initiate the roll sequence when RUT crosses 1540.

We’re going to leg in into an Iron Condor using a Put Credit spread first.
I am looking for a 10 point wide credit spread that pays between 0.90 and 1.00 credit per spread.
I will look to either stop out of this trade below 2900 or add a Call credit spread to complete this Iron Condor above 3040

I’m going to add an OTM Call Calendar to re-balance this trade. I covered the HOW to size this hedge in the chat. Here’s the recap:
RUT is moving towards outside of the tent
We know that most decay happens inside of the tent because options closer to ATM have the highest THETA componentOur goal is to move the tent over to cover the area where we think RUT is going to be trading over the near term
Now, this position is currently NET -15 delta
I want to keep my delta NEUTRAL or close to 0 after the adjustment
I am looking to add an OTM Call Calendar that will take my NET delta close to 0
15NOV/29NOV 1570 Calendar is about +4 Delta each
If I do (4) of these calendars, this should add about +16 delta to my current -15 delta and take my NET delta to +1
