Raised cash Monday by selling VXX also taken 3/16. Do I wish I'd have blown out the short Monday? Yeah, a little but short from about 1590 RUT cash, so still have some room to play. Feels like I've left some $ on the table this week after nailing Monday so well; the volitality play was huge. What else is happening? Had bot some UNG Monday 3/19 close that was looking good, and then I lost all of the profits in about a 60 minute stretch this morning. I cut it at breakeven, and it felt bad to do it, but it kept going down after that so it was the right thing. The SLV taken 3/16 close worked out today. I didn't have much. I'm keeping it for now.
.
Bottom line holding short RUT shorts around 1590 cash - 1/2 position no adds today. A daily close back above the 3/13 highs would concern me, although, being honest, that's more heat than I'm willing to take and would cut it before then if it comes to that. Holding 25% of the VXX I bought close of 3/16, $39.4 average, still up on it. Also a little SLV, also in profits.
3 green positions, plenty cash and I feel melancholy about it all. Was way more excited Monday about 10:00, but the overall trading plan has not changed. I think well go down from here. Let's see.
