you can note from the piece that Rextar posted on vix, that today is another such day -- VIX or VXO substantially below 10 day MA ... I think that and using stops is about the only thing we've got. Most TA stuff has not worked as of late ... we saw similar stuff in '99 - '00, but maybe things are even more out of whack now??

right now I am wishing I had timed my exit from homebuilder puts yesterday -- had two positions in or at the money -- no more after a furious round of short-covering.

lol!

"I seem to struggle with early entries and then early exits."

We all do!

I've been trying to key off the broader rotation. I think we get some follow through here and I don't want to miss a blast up that NO ONE expects. Everyone sees a pull back coming. Everyone says the same thing................ "pull back then bullish".

Switched to Velocity.
