Admittedly, I was watching the premarket pricing like a hawk, and the sucker kept dropping. My plan was to only sell half my position but I decided to take the money off the table once it got that low.

Sold some OTM Calls in SPY and sold a SPX strangle. IV is higher than normal and looking for some pull back in IV.
Will manager early. 50% on the SPY short calls and 40% on the SPX strangle.

It took me some time to find the borrowing rate for DWTI. At IB you have to go to account management -> tools. The rate was 5.1 %, which transfers to about $15 a day for your 2000 shares short position.
Currently running a One Click for EUR/NZD where I am only looking for short positions as the pair has a sell swap of +11.64.

RGLD....small position at $66.89....don't have a confirm buy signal but sitting in a zone where the probability of a gap up is likely next trading day.
*******************************************************************************
closed today at $68.87...will swing this a little longer.

Looks like I should have stuck with my system's exit signals - DWTI down another 4% in pre-market.

Agreed. However, this is more of a self-examination as to why I took the trade off early versus following a validated system approach, which would have effectively doubled my profit.
