Time to close and reset the QQQ calendars/diagonals and reset. We are taking a loss on the close and re-opening a single diagonal and going longer term. This will keep the entry price cheaper and then allow us to move/adjust with the market. 

This market itself is choppy and really does not give us a true indication of direction. Higher interest rates favor a lower market but as we know the market can be very irrational. 

Note:  We are also changing our 50K Portfolio allocation for this QQQ trade from 4 to 3 contracts for now until we see more consistency and less whippy movement in the markets.
