Monday 4th of October

The S&P futures trading down 7.5 points, but found support down at last weeks low 1127 level and closed well off the low, which indicates some buying, otherwise it would have flushed through the close.
Another thing to note is that the volume was lower than 2 previous bars and it was unlikely to break that 1127 low on reduced volume. Remember that the key volume areas we have are 1127 and 1153.50. The low looks like a successful test, see link:

To the trading,
lost 13 points on the futures trading as I was hedging the long calls I had to have some long exposure on the drop. Still ended the day up 1.24% on the day as the short calls declined more in value that the what I lost on the futures.
In the options portfolio I made some minor changes, bot back some of the short 1150 calls for October and also sold 1135 call for expiration Friday to get a bit more premium in.

That is all for today, good luck
