SPY Backratio

I take a shot with a complicated trade, a SPY Backratio, selling two Sep 88 puts for every Sep 96 put bought SPY @107.1. The strikes makes for a credit spread, with a huge max profit around SPY 88 at September expiration. If SPY drops below 80 it starts to lose money. At SPY in the low 90s there is a good profit. At SPY 100+ even with extreme up moves, I get to keep the tiny credit. It is close to a delta neutral trade, adding to SPY long exposure right now, but turning negative as time goes by.

SPY offset by SDS, net long SPY
TLT offset by TBT, net long TLT
