Checking Out Crime Scene 8-3-16

Indices went back to check out the crime scene as they often do. It may not be ready to break the balance area yet. SPX and RUT move back to 50-60% of their range from yesterday. Let's see what market will show us in the next couple of days.

I made four trades today. All of them were ratio hedges in both call and put sides. None of my rollover got filled. I have to get everything done by tomorrow just in case we will close the Northlake condo on Friday. I should start from the deep ITM positions first.

Net liq and margin both fall with the market inched up. Leverage is at 90 and margin down to 30% again. A big lesson of sizing. There are 8 calls ITM and 5 ATM as of today. That's too many for the size of my accts. I get to come up a better way to control and monitor my position sizing.
