The Seasonal Pullback In Progress 2-19-21

 The majors closed down for the week, except DJ formed a Doji. They haven't had two consecutive down weeks since last Oct. Today was a gap and crap day that I wasn't prepared for. The O/N gap up made me think it was a reversal up day. But the monthly options expiration day turned into two-way price action. The pullback may not end yet base on the lower closing today. 

My net liq improved a little this week, ending at 112K. The leverage is at 403. I should have over 50K excess liquidity for the weekend. Delta is positive in the 80s. This could be a problem if the selloff deepens. 

My trades are positive overall. I didn't encounter a stop-loss situation to test my disciplines. I am including the rollovers in my 2-3X stop-loss plan as well. I didn't play many 0 DTE trades since I have been working on resolving my last JOIF fallout. The long put is out but I got sucked into a bad risk reversal I did today. I misjudged the o/n gap up and acted with FOMO. 

Shadow Trade is working with small gains. I have learned some new options strategies. I picked up some JO5K trades for a learning purpose. Need a more solid system to turn around.
