Looks pretty close to my script so far:
Message 21188899

Hope some folks here might have gotten some rounds off, with all the bullets and shells flying overhead. IV on the SPY traded back to 12, right as it hit 1189, and right after the repo number. You had about five minutes to execute. I manage to get it, plus wrote some naked TOL May 80 calls. Couldn't quite get a short off on ACF at 24.00 though, had to be too many places during that opening <ng>. Just don't have the four football field trading floors of the Pig Men.

We will have to see what the Treasury does with that 13.0 TIO in about an hour and a half. If it's gone, that's a lot of support gone. Check for yourself:
