Sold 1 SPX for 195 points below futures price. The new margin requirements are strict, hopefully there won’t be a liquidation at market open.
Well, IBKR liquidated my position although it was nowhere close to being ITM. I have to accumulate enough wealth for portfolio margin.
Sold 8 XSP instead. Sucks, but at least I can sell some premium.
Sold 1 SPX and 2 XSP for 100 points below index price and 1 SPX for 100 points above index price.

Premiums are so high that I could get a 100 point barrier mid-session.
