The trade type cannot withstand that kind of movement this close to expiry. I adjusted in a flurry on Friday and at the end of the day the trades were OK. I was a bit uncomfortable with a fall in volatility and a rise the RUT but everything was in decent shape, the T+0 lines were relatively flat. Today it gapped open and didn&#8217;t stop.

It is what it is. I&#8217;ll be looking at them tonight to see what we can do but likely I&#8217;ll start to peel them off and we&#8217;ll take whatever profits are there.
