Thursday 7th of October

S&P futures spiked higher on the weekly jobless claims data and tested that 1163 key resistance level (high from 12 of May), which is the highest level after the flash crash on 6th of May. However it failed at the level and traded all the way down to 1147 in the next 3 hours, but it was no real drive in the volume on the move lower and it move back higher towards the close and closing pretty much unchanged at 1156.50. Good rally back off that 1147 and we are all looking to tomorrows payrolls.
The key resistance levels for tomorrow are 1163.50 and 1168, to the downside we have 1147 (today's low) and 1127 the key high volume area.
Trading wise the portfolio was down 0.77% on the day and the major problem was that I lost 13.50 points in the futures as I was too much long hedged on the dropped lower.
On the options portfolio I bot back the rest of the 1120 Oct 15th puts from 4.30 to 4.50 points. Also bot back some 1130 October 15th puts around 4.30 for that one as well. Bot back a tiny 1155 call for October for 10.50 points and did sell a 1150 October 15th call when we dropped lower as I was a bit too long.

That is all for now, have a nice day
