Stopped out of the SOXL so soon... the whole thing now looks heavy... still short the SP, I'll hold that one for a while longer... GZ

Yes, that DOW gap still has not been filled, BUT the weekly NYSE Put/Call ratio is now in the sell zone for the week and today is Friday... If that stays in the sell zone, then we are more likely to see more selling next week... so, that's the thing to watch right now... GZ

At this moment in the early afternoon, there's a 68% probability that this will be followed up by a black Monday... I'm just looking at the odds, after all, that's all this game is, it's based on odds that it's going to move higher or lower... GZ

This game we play is so hard. I always position both ways and alter sizes of bets to egfect my strategy. I was able to do nothing st the open as shorts were challenged but I gave up a ton as it went faster and deeper down than I believed it would. It was pretty vicious. 1 neutral trade that became an uber short save me in AMZN (sold straddle hedged with long strangle with protection too tight to land usually - was max loss at open if held all day (minor gain at mkt pricing - lucky I held but AMZN fell fast and hard)). I managed to not do too much damage elsewhere so combined with trading the FB pin on Thur, a good but disappointing week. Funny I am so disappointed - 1 of biggest few weeks ever. I had bad swing mechanics on a few positions, cycling off too soon and exposing one-sided risk. TSLA conned me with big midday rally before plunge. It was so vicious I put on a SPX short spread for $1 ($5 wide) and it was fractional minutes later - diwn 6 to down 15-20. I had almost done Nazz with 2x the juice but chart looked safer in SPX. My system and methods are very hard but at times very effective. I had work telling me the AMZN gap was very unlikely to held (looking at past cases). Man, I am wiped! And rambling. Apologies.
