Butchered this today. Broke all my rules.
1. Gap up to all time highs at the open and didn’t wait for a pullback.
2. Sold next day daily puts without closing today’s.
3. Sold at highs and bought at lows.
4. At least I was more patient with SPX. Made up for it there.
Basically back to square one now with the overall position.
