Because I was getting too close to Maximum loss of 50% too early,
I bought:

1 SPY Oct12 139 Call at $5.87.

It has a Delta around 81. My net Delta prior was near -166.

I cut my Delta's in about 1/2.

See the new PnL curve...



Still upside risk, but adjusting the spread, gives me some breather room on the downside. It injected more capital into the position though.

You may have problems doing the same. What is your day of entry and original prices on the legs? I will put your spread in and see what you may what to do. You should have to buffer so much delta, because my spread is scaled 15x's greater than yours. Because of that, I would assume you have a negative Delta around -11. That means you probably need to buy a +5 Delta Call to appropriately adjust. If that is true, you need to buy 1 contract of the Oct12 152 Call for about $0.11 / contract midpoint.

Let me know your entry prices and date of entry.
