Week 7 Review 2-13-16

ES/SPX retested January low of 1810 area on last Thursday while RUT made a new low of the year. US indices made a near 2% pop and took out last Thursday's high on Friday. Let's see if we get a follow through next after the retest of double bottom.  The down trend remained intact so far.

The week ended in red of -$752 after I rolled over the deep ITM SPY 197 puts to March 3. That's where I could get some decent premiums for the same strike. I also had to roll RUT 950 puts which was hoping around ATM on Thursday. With a three days long weekend I should get extra decay. I should be able to reduce some positions next week.

Risk parameters are still elevated. Net liq and margin ratio was below 50% and leverage was above 50 every day of the week on increased VIX and over sized positions. I need to lay out a size limit for each week to see what's my margin allowance.
