Market shacked out the lower NFP numbers after early session's pull back. Dow made a hair away from the magic 20,000. SPX also made a new ATH of 2282. The price actions are still bullish. The B band squeeze for SPX and RUT could push them either way in short term. RUT is the only major stock index fall near half percent today. It may be an indication of divergence since RUT tends to lead the market. However, RUT didn't break yesterday's low. It could turn around with the other indices next week. Admittedly any weakness is a relief for my portfolio.
Made 7 trades today. No any premium collection and rollover was filled in IB. I had to roll the RUT 1370 ATM to Jan 31 1410 since it was hopping around the stick and my time was running out although it ended up OTM. But I followed my plan despite its imperfection and ill timing.
Net liq is up 6K thanks to the 0.5% drop in RUT and IWM. Margin is near 50% after the expiry so I will be fine for next Monday. Too bad that I still couldn't reduce any short calls. It may take longer to reduce any since I roll these ITM short calls further out although upped their strikes.
