7:30 amFutures looking good: essentially unchanged
Although it is wishful thinking, I entered an order to exit the IC by paying 35 cents. You never know what may happen.
10:36 am
RUT = 829.47
Came back from walk and discovered that I paid 10 cents to exit call spread at 9:52 am
Currently, short put carries a 27 delta. Not good. But not terrible.
12:18 pm
Entered a bid for the 5-point put roll down. 30 cents.
Please note that this trade is the put butterfly: 810/815/820. We would exit one put spread and open another.
1:23 pm
Cancelled put roll down.
Hoping to exit (later) instead.
2:57pm
Bought 2 call spreads at $1.05 EDIT: Bought two of the short PUT spreads. Hat Tip: Hannes
Still short 9 lots.

Market slightly negative at pre-open (8:17 am). This may test my discipline.
8:31 am
RUT = 828.23.
Put spread market is .55 to .95. Seems that I paid too much for my two lot adjustment. That’s okay with me. I needed some relief.
Decision: Is crisis over? Do I seek the good-sized profit? My answer is ‘no.’ I don’t feel comfortable with the delta of my short being 25.
No order entered yet.
8:41 am
RUT = 827.00
Bid 95 cents. Bought three lots. Raised bid to $1.00, bought other 6 lots.
Happy to be out for a small loss
I will update the ‘track record‘ table shortly.
