I got ya; Thanx...I should have looked my daily big foot before doing the short, finance.yahoo.com^ndx&t=1d&l=on&z=m&q=l&p=e50,e10,e50,e20&a=fs,vm,w14,r5&c=^IXIC had I seen that I would have waited.. I was too complacent and was going by the 5 day.. finance.yahoo.com^NDX&t=5d&l=on&z=m&q=l&p=e50,e10,e50,e20&a=fs,vm,w14,r5&c=^IXIC which still has the NDX lagging..but it was strong enough today that it could reverse back above the nasdaq. ------ I pulled the trigger to soon..:-( ; but I have more ammo , & if tomorrow shows this again I'll close the short and let the calls run. Or maybe just box it off..and let the calls run. A lot of times once I get short the qubes I don't close them on a run up, but just do a box.. Latter I can most often drop the long side faster than getting back short. ( there is no uptick rule on the qubes so it's legal ) Sometimes them checking to see if they have the shares to lend me so I can go short can take a while. If I'm boxed it's fast. Jim
