The goal is to roll up the debit spreads to eventually convert into a regular STT when my market bias supports it. I removed 7 ES hedges at 2669 (this AM) after spending about 2 hours reviewing technical sources last night. Confident that we&#8217;re locally bottomed and that we&#8217;ll bounce. I&#8217;ll continue to review technicals and market commentary but I don&#8217;t have all that much risk on, especially as time goes by.<\/p>\n<p>What I am most upset about is that I didn&#8217;t have dry powder to enter during the mini-crash.  Ah well. Next time.<\/p>\n<p>My BSH factory is approaching even today after the bounce. The shorts I sold were in Dec so they&#8217;re getting pulled right down.<\/p>\n<p>My Mar STT CC campaign is down about 22-25k or so on 282 butterflies (71 units). Loads of theta. Healthy and hedged by a bearish STT<br \/>\nMy Jan STT cc campaign made about 10k through the mini correction and has loads of theta (it&#8217;s in the most perfect position imaginable for the next two weeks)<br \/>\nMy Dec STT cc campaign is break even through the mini correction<br \/>\nMy KH hedges are all down now (~20k or so) but are mostly Dec PCS that are just ab it compromised. They will quickly deteriorate into a slightly below break-even result if things don&#8217;t crash. They did their job with margin control and slight hedges.<br \/>\nMy X4 is down about 18k (I am waiting for a 2800\/2810 to take it off)<br \/>\nMy Rhino is break even (it went through a 15% crash, well handled)<br \/>\nMy ES HS3 (Mar) is down about 80k but the hedges I had on are +32k so net down about 48k. Will come back quickly<br \/>\nMy ES HS3 (Jan) is really flying and should make up for the Mar within 14 days (Perfect positioning)<br \/>\nI removed all my Dec HS3<br \/>\nMy ES BSh factory is break even <\/p>\n<p>Poker<\/p>\n<p>I have to up my study game as the last week had my focuses elsewhere. New course came out that I am interested to audit (Nick Petrangelo).  This week I&#8217;ll catch up. The tournaments start next week and I am off to MTL on the 21st. Should be fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I put on about 37 Bearish STTs to hedge off the 282 March STTs.
