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.

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.

It was news driven. Saudi energy Minister opened his mouth again i.e manipulation...nothing fundamentally has changed.
"Saudi Oil Minister Khalid Al-Falih is at a conference in London this morning saying "many non-OPEC countries (Russia?) may join in the cartel's deal to limit output." The countries, he says, are willing to not just freeze, but implement healthy cuts. Many MAY join – man, how many times have you been suckered in with that line? "
