Selling a June CL 114 call is way too close for me. I would rather sell a further strike using a further month. I was looking at the CLQ 130 calls but I did not enter a position yet.

Ron, do you wait for a down day on ES to sell puts? Based on what you said, I am guessing you are looking at the ESM41400 or ESM41410 puts. Delta is about 0.02 on these. Am I correct?
