I just missed the April entry due to other things taking priority in my life at the time. If you enter a trade well, you get a nice cushion in case the market turns against you. It’s the difference between a profit and a loss. 5% risk free is a decent pocket change, but I realize that the gains from April lows were sharp. At least I am not long bonds. I don’t see market manipulation, sharp drops of the vix are a part of what makes the market tick. Such recoveries from deeply oversold are quite normal.
