the put spread structure is incredibly clever and Ive looked at it extensively, but please note that there is MASSIVE risk holding those during a crash...it works if you call it between a certain range, if it goes below that range your risk is HIGH and dangerous.
What his show carefully

@RAM,Simultaneously buying a long and short is only incurring brokerage cost, Gain in one contract is offset by loss in another. Understanding risk and Reward is very important.
