Sept NFPR came out at 156K v.s 172 expected. No big surprises but good enough. Market popped up but retreated before cash open. SPX and RUT were down 07 - 1.2% at one time but closed near flat. It looks like that buyers are still in control. Let's see what kind of follow through will market get. So far I couldn't see which way the market will break out this two week ranges.
Made 16 trades across all my accounts. Finally filled all of IC put side for Nov 2 and 3. It's the election period during that time. I get to be cautious. I may consider to take them off between 50-70% profit or roll them over. Margin is on the put side now due to 6 call positions closed. I could have had one more RUT 1235 call expired worthless but I didn't stick to my plan of waiting until 2pm. Instead I placed an rollover order around 10 am.
Portfolio risk was reduced with today's pull back and expired positions. Net liq is up to 185K. Margin ratio is at 53%. Post expiry margin and excess are predicted at 71,250 and 114,308 respectively. I will check these numbers on Sunday to see how accurate the predictions are.
