124/142 are the 20 delta strikes to adjust on.
dont risk more than 1.5 to 2x the max credit on trade. take profits/tighten the noose at 60% of credit.

The greeks are neutral for vega and gamma, theta is positive and delta is positive 25 (biased bullish)
plan to risk 150 to make 150 total on trade.
If stock gaps I risk a greater loss, but AAPL is beaten up and I believe the gap up is a better possibility.
