  1. $20.00 isn't enough of a cushion. I would move the strikes to $40.00 apart - 625/665/705.

    Decided strike width based on approximate straddle price in Nov. It's about 15-16 currently, so went with 20 wide.

  3. Pointless. You add 20 in width and 18 in additional risk. Outside the wings you're long gamma, while still hurting in the 40-wide.
