I expect volatility here: shortened week and a lot of news.
one can either follow the systems exactly from entry to exit
or...if you bought more than one PUT option or you bought a lot of
ETF shares - you could have locked in some profits outside of the
system on the morning drop i.e.. if you bought 4 PUT options on
Friday, could have elected to sell one of them this morning to lock
something in then keep the rest to exit by the system.
again follow what fits your risk profile.
the system is not a day trade system - it needs to hit a daily
exit criteria. Should the market rally back and recover this week
to another high, it's possible that the system won't exit and could
even have a 2nd entry should prices recover over the next couple
days and make a new high.
for an exit price needs to close below a short term MA like a 5
SMA
SPX was down 54 points in the morning and is now flat - hence my
comments from this morning about volatility or taking some profits
if you bought more than one PUT option on Friday - here's those
comments from this morning
