Futures turned up on ECB meeting announcement keeping European rate unchanged. Yesterday's down turn got totally reversed. I underestimated the situation this morning. I was expecting the pop and drop pattern to play out. I quickly added a SPX 2060 bear call for 1 DTE thinking to get a quick scalp. The thought of not to play such short dated options came up as a rule of mine. My bad habit of close eyes and jump took over and I got filled for $1.1. Market turned out to be a trending day and when as high as 1.5% before closing. Then Amazon and Google reported earnings that made ES shoot up another 15 points.
My plan/wish from yesterday are out of windows now. I have to plan to roll over my 2040/70 calls now. I will roll the 2040 in IB up one more week to collect a little premiums which I bought long calls to make it a wide spread. The difficulty is laying in ET positions. Both are 3x spread which is hard to roll. I will have to close the positions and open another set. Good thing I didn't make another mistake adding more positions today. I reserved some margin in ET for tomorrow's roll.
