Dow and SPX popped but RUT legged today while senators were debating their tax bill. Indexes all closed higher more or less. The vote was delayed after hour. They will schedule it for tomorrow. It looks like they will do whatever it takes to pass it. So expect another surge if it passes.
Made 8 trades. 4 of them were in ET. Tried to raise strikes within the same expiring week It took less to gain 5 points but appeared costing more to roll the positions to next week. I will have to experiment more to see if it works. Market makers are difficult to deal with on expiration day. I ended up losing $450 to roll up 1 week with 1.5K margin expansion. What a bad deal.
Net liq stayed above neck line. Thanks to these long calls that offset the effect of price pop. Margin ratio is above 100 and on put side. Now need to watch out the put side. Have 2 RUT bear calls must roll by tomorrow.
