Rolling the call side down to the 96/101 for a realized gain and .19/contract credit. It's not much, but it cuts net delta in half ... . Scratch at 1.86.

With the call side approaching worthless and the short put side being tested on this down move, rolled the call side down to the 90/95 immediately at open for a .65/contract credit; scratch at 2.51.
Trade ist aktiv
Rolling down to the 86/89 for a .53/contract credit with a resulting scratch point of 3.04/contract. Because the total credits collected exceed the width of the call side spread (and therefore its max loss), the setup no longer has upside risk and has a downside break even of 81.96..

Covering here with 18 days to go for a 2.71/contract debit, a small winner of 3.04 - 2.71 or .33/contract.
