I didn’t mention it, but I cashed my SPX long from yesterday at this mornings pricing. Its looking like it was a good move right now as the SPX is 2 pts lower than the 10:45 open that Rydex uses to calculate its morning price. The Dow on the other hand is dropping like a rock with the RUT catching up. Either way I ate nearly a 1% loss again.

I was right about potential for the whipsaw.

Sia was right about just holding onto my shorts from the 9th to the 10th.

These past two days were small screwups that attributed to small loses, but could’ve been big gains.

On October 8th I was already short going into the morning of October 9th. I flipped my position from SPX/NDX/RUT to shorting NDX/RUT. Well the SPX ended up more than 1% and I ended down less than 1%.

Sia was right that I should’ve held onto my shorts.
