reason I didn't send out the trade was because I didn't become aware of it for a couple hrs after the market close. All the sub systems have trade indicators that alert me intra day if one of the systems are meeting conditions for a trade. The Breakout system indicator had a bug in it (that I was able to fix tonight so that it won't happen again) that prevented it from signaling me intra day today.

my plan is that if the market is down some tomorrow I will then officially send the trade out. I think there's some likelihood of that because both the SPX and the VIX closed up today, and many times when that happens the next day is a red day
