Managment of Delta in WTI

Oil is under pressure.  I decided to manage /CL delta for the expense of the collected premium. Also /ES was used to hedge the /CL position.
The resulting position and the trades are posted below.

Early into Fourth Cycle

WTI is under pressure . 9 days till the end of third cycle. At the moment paper losses are around $25000.  Anyway I take this as an opportunity to sell another  put but into the next cycle :
