August Effect? 8-1-16

Indices tried to break to the downside but still couldn't do it. A noticeable change of pattern is that indices closed to the lower side after a failed push up. However the tight ranges are intact and could break to either direction despite MACD is slightly closed to the downside. VIX is also low and no sigh of spike yet.

Made three trades today. Closed one SPY put and the rest of them were margin hedges. I was practicing patience today with a level of consciousness. I held off couple of rollovers for this week. I would wait for more decay if the prices stay in the range or go down a light more. Of course the risk is if and when the market goes up.

Risk profile recovered some from today's choppy. Available margin is off 12% to 32% due to expired hedges. Leverage is at 99. Neg liq increase $5.5K.
