Base Building 11-19-15

It was a small range day. ES/SPX had less than 10 point range. ES held up around VPOC of 2080.  The break down point of early Nov was tested. ES/SPX are at a critical point of directions. MACD has lower weekly and higher daily. It's hard to tell which way it's going. Giving the seasonality we may see a pull back then leading to an attempt of new high.

My plan was carried out successfully. I closed 3 near the money calls and rolled all of my in the money calls of SPX to next week. It wasn't perfect nor free of anxiety. I was focusing more on the main objective instead of trying to catch a top or bottom. The last positions was closed after cash closing and few minutes before the settlement. It was hard to deal with MM as they tend to hold the prices to the last minute. I will work on SPY calls tomorrow.

Risk figures improved as positions came off. Net liq/margin is at 45% for the first time in Nov. Leverage is 33.
