... for a 31.16 debit.

Comments: Short delta hedge against a long delta portfolio ... . Buying the -90 put in the back month and selling the +30 short in the front. 31.16 cost basis with a 408.84 break even on a 42.50 wide. As with my other short delta hedges, will look to roll the short option aspect out in time to reduce cost basis.
