Great question!

I had one more limit order in, for 20 at 2442. If the market had not "broken down" again by 3;15 Eastern, I would have covered at whatever. Remember today was an options expiration day, coming off a massive selloff yesterday, which created a very oversold condition. I expected a bounce, but not a legit rally today.
I was risking about 50% of yesterday's profits as long as I covered by 2445.

I now expect a bigger bounce for early next week, but don't think we get another V bottom, so I expect that rally will also fail. Then again, I'm notoriously bad at predicting the market, which is why I rarely prognosticate
