  1. Covered -- long too many deltas in the vanilla hedges. $12.90 on the puts, 722.20 avg on the futures.

  3. Sold 30 more from 71.00 -- short 160

  4. Bought 160 to cover -- $1269.50

    ES call barrier hedge: +$66,000 on 160 turns. Feel we're a bit overdone here. Remaining position is +120 R/Rs and the bear call barrier.

  5. Offset bear call barrier at $445,000. Absurd considering the 10d 1301 bear barrier is modeled at $410,000 at current spot + vols. I couldn't argue holding the exotic and scaling out of R/R deltas, so the R/R is gone at $5.00 [loss of 8.50 x 120] on the cover -- market of 3.20x5.20 when working the combo.

    Exotic: +$129,000
    ES hedges: +$66,000
    R/R: ($102,500)
    Position blotter: +$92,500

  9. Hope to short another 40 SGXNK tonight to invert from weak to strong on the barrier math. CME NKD implying 15560 on June SGXNK.

    Selling futs at the open of the Singapore session.
