The Friday, Thirteenth 10-13-17

Nothing bad happened on this Friday, thirteenth. All the majors recorded another ATHs except RUT. Indices slowly grinding up. RUT tried to gain ground but closed near low of the day, -0.18%. MACD for RUT is still turning down. It may not break down but consolidating in range and waiting for next break out.

Made 12 trades. 3 closing orders hit. Opened another back ratio in UVXY after closed an ITM one with a small profit. Made two mistakes in the rollover of RUT 1185. First I missed the - sign again so a $50 credit became a debit. then, I forgot to cancel out the old order. So I had to pay to reverse that order. I noticed that I tend to make some simple mistakes when I am stressed. I need to recognize my emotional stages and act accordingly. Remember my procedures and follow it through. Also bought bought a RUT 1525C next week for $110 just in case there is a break out on the monthly expiry week. Rolled SPX short call in ET for a $80 credit for a change. Hedged both sides as well. Margin should be OK for the weekend. I left a SPY and QQQ ITM call for assignments. My reason is to leave some exposures on the upside.

Net liq is still in the chop zone. Margin is above 50%. Need to learn more directional plays. My delta is in deep negative zone.
