Saw the options comment earlier. Im just a dummy but what I do
when the market is flaky is roll/stop loss. I bought the 446
call(10 @$20) the other day and it was up about $1500 so I put a
stop loss at 19. It reversed and I was stopped out -$1000.
Yesterday got the new trigger so bought the same contract @ 18
($18K). When the market moved up showing about 1500 gain SPY @458 I
rolled up to the 460 Call, got $9 ( and lowered my risk to $9) I
set a stop $1 below=8. So I now have 8k risk in the trade,
and it closed at $11.60 so Im up 2600 and will move my stop up to
$9 so any loss (absent a crazy gap down) would be minimal. If it
continues to run I will roll up at resistance areas, with a tight
stop along the way.
