Testing Lower 8-31-16

Indices tested lower end of their current balance areas. But buyers stepped in late afternoon pushing them back to the mid. It could be the funds window dressing at month end and awaiting for Friday's job report. Weekly MACD has shown some weakness while daily signals are choppy.

Made 9 trades today. Orders to close positions filed on both sides. The deep ITM RUT 1100 got rolled to 9/9 again. I don't even remember how I get into it. I bought 4 ratio hedges with small credits. There are 5 more positions to rollover this Friday. I may need more hedges for next week. I try to get most of my hedges cost free.

Risk profile improved even with a slightly down day. Margin is back above 50%. Leverage is at 94, far from my 40-50 target.
