Daily Update: The trade made it through the 1st week. Now that we got the theta and the trade is a bit more robust, I`m pushing the adjustment level further away (somewhere around the half-point between the short-strike and break-even). I`m also closing the opposite side and evaluating re-opening if and only if it reaches one of the adjustment points.
Contingent Orders:
If XLE at or above 44.80 (+2.25 st. deviations):
a) Close PUT diagonal
b) Buy 3x 44/48 CALL Vertical spreads
c) Evaluate where to re-open PUT diagonal (not automatic, analyze risk profile)
If XLE at or bellow 32.65 (-6.0 st. deviations):
a) Close CALL diagonal
b) Buy 3x 33/28 PUT Vertical spreads
c) Evaluate where to re-open CALL diagonal (not automatic, analyze risk profile)
Risk profile: TOS gives me only 16.4% Probability of needing an adjustment on the up-side, that`s great.
Dashboard: Trade is profitable despite large volatility drop this week

Gustavo, usually the probability of touching is more probable than the probability of expiring. Did you factor this in? Also, With your 68% probability of expiring in 1 week (Mar 20); the band enclosed your upper adjustment number. I would suspect your prob. number may be off. Just my first thoughts.
Gus: ignore my earlier comment; I see that your risk chart already uses the prob of expiring. Nice analysis on both !
