-1 SPY 16 Dec 16 198/208/208/218 IRON FLY @ 7.40

Max Profit: 7.40 ($740)
Max Loss: 2.60 ($260)

Break Evens: 215.40 & 200.60

I'll probably take profit around 25-30% here after the binary event on Nov 8th.
Trade active:
I also added a second position @ 7.44 ($744)

Average credit: $7.42

Added the 16 Dec 16 SPY 205/208/221/224 IRON CONDOR @ 1.07 to hedge some delta here to the upside. Looks like 208 to 214 is going to be the sweet spot here for major profit zones.
Trade active:

I rolled up my IRON FLY for about a 12.34 debit and re-established this trade as a 210/214/219/223 IRON CONDOR at 4.84 ($484).

My new BEs are 211.58 and 221.42 now in the above photo. If we can stay floating here with Thanksgiving coming up, hopefully I can regain some of these losses back.
Trade active:

I rolled up the 210/214 put spread up to the 213/217 put spread in the Dec cycle here for a .08 debit. I paid a debit on the trade (versus a credit I would have received) because I took off 1 unit to lower my risk on the trade. So now I have 2x the 219/223 call spread and only 1x the 213/217 put spread. I think I absorbed $108 in profit through this roll.

This changed my break evens to 214.79 and 221.21. The highlighted green zone is the range where the trade remains profitable.
Comment:
Closed this trade 12/9 for just under it's full loss. I don't see it moving down 5% percent in the next week.
