Index futures gaped down last night on Trump's issue with Comey and leaking secret. The gap down let to an accelerated sell off until closing. SPX and RUT ended down 2.7% - 1.8% respectively. It followed SPX and NASDAQ made their new highs during the day session.
Made 20 trades today. It was a good day for selling puts in SPX and RUT despite that I under estimated the percentage of the sell off. I was able to fill in some late June and early July spots for SPX. I rolled all three of my ITM positions for this week. Luckily closed the RUT 1400 call I just split up yesterday. I sold 4 put ratio hedges in RUT to protect put side and reduce fees. It may be a short lived pull back but it helped me greatly. I saved some resources for follow through p/b.
Net liq gained 20K with today's sell off. I quickly paid another 5K back to ET. I am still 37K in debt to ET. The recovery has taken much longer than I expected. Margin ratio closed above 100%. It's still on call side. I will buy couple more calls before this weekend.
