I'm sorry; I am not familiar with the difference between SPX and SPY, and I see that you are using different strike prices for the put and the call. That complicates the calculation for my simple mind.

Clearly, though, this is the type of transaction I find very attractive, providing that when you enter it you recognize that the long underlying position is not cast in stone; you may adjust this portion of the position as you see fit.

Would you please comment on this proviso ?
