A Small Relief 7-21-16

Major indices had a small pull back after a failed push up at the beginning. SPX and RUT were down more than 0.5% at some point this afternoon. The daily structures are still intact. It was a welcome relief for my accounts. IB net liq had about $8K increase.

I rolled over my deep ITM positions today since there is no hope of getting out in another day. I don't like the feeling of forced to fill in the last couple hours of expiration day. Had five trades today. Two rollovers and three hedges. I collected a decent premium of $630 and used partial to cover my hedging expenses of the last few days.

Risk factors are back from the edge of cliff. Margin ratio is at 33% and leverage is at 95. However, it may be only one day relief since many of my long calls will be expired after tomorrow. I will have to buy more hedges to fend off the expiration impact tomorrow.
