Great problem to have, my best 3 days ever. But the spreads on my puts are insane.

Started buying long calls. You have to place limit orders way below the ask. Most of the hitting. Systems are so slow.

In my system today usually sets the range going forward. We will get some backing and filling over the next day or so, then some upside to close the week. The price on close is important. We should get the normal reaction on www. Pretty simple.

Good thing I'm only holding calls. SVXY 39.5 AH (XIV 35.51)

 

Wow. Wipeout.

 

That's not going to buff out.
