Closed all my ES futures around ES 1486 for about 15 points profit. Still holding 1/2 of my OEX puts, which i am in no hurry to close.

It is a hanging man in the hourly charts. It will probably retest the lows eventually, maybe not tomorrow, but eventually. I traded long up from the lows since I thought this first decline to the gap would be bought. I wish I sold short when I saw the rising VIX right away... I still think that if it can not meaningfully decline in the next 3 days and tag 1520s instead next week, it can reach to 1600s by the Sep expirations after a small pull back after the expirations... BTW, RUT was showing the least damage today during the decline in the last hour...

the RUT responds very well to A/D. Strong A/D = strong RUT.
