Another Small Down Day 10-4-16

Indices had another small down day. SPX and RUT closed down about 0.5% recovering from some early losses. They are still in their current balance area. BB and MACD are in mid of it. The market is in waiting mode.

Made 11 trades today. 8 of them were new positions on put side. 3 were closing calls. Margin is reduces but still on the call side. I continued to experiment the scalping strategy and keep it small. Don't want a big shook hurt me like last summer. I tried to look for other assets to trade with no luck. Gold was down 3.3% but didn't have the right premiums in the area I wanted. Will look at it tomorrow again. TLT was down 1.2%.

Risk profile is back to safe levels for now. Net liq is up 3.6k to 183K. Margin ratio is at 53%. I may add couple more calls should the market pop in the rest of the week.
