My main anticipation was range-bound price actions for today. The market acted like it until the last hour of the day. It sold off again toward the end of the session shelving off another 2% or more on the major indexes. The price action shows that the retest of Feb lows is likely to happen.
Made 5 trades today. It took me the most of the day to roll the expiring SPX 2750 ITM put. I missed my plan of reversing it to the bear call side in the morning. Then the price kept falling. Also the margin requirement kept me to switch side aggressively. I ended up to give up 5 points to roll it to next week. My hesitation caused me two days in a raw. Luckily I rolled two ITM bear calls without adding put spreads and collected decent premiums.
Net liq didn't gain any ground since my bull puts are underwater now. The margin ratio is above 50% for the weekend. I will have to deal with some of the ITM small cars on the put side next week. It was a frustrating week for me.
