A: SPX has hit our upside stop, so we're adjusting. Our current call spread has a Delta of .32 and a 30% probability of expiring in the money. We're going to roll to a further out of the money calls spread, [private_monthly]the 1410/1420. With a delta at .15, the 1410 call improves our odds on the trade with a 86% probability of expiring worthless. Additionally, we're going to put in a GTC order to attempt to close out the put spread portion of the trade for about 90% of its possible profit.
