Doubled My Shorts

On the open, I added another block of SPY short, as well as a few individual names.

This leaves me 75% short. Most of these positions will be covered by the close, or by Monday’s close.

    Hopped on the bandwagon with some speculative SPY puts at the close. Figured we’ll take a bit of a breather on Monday/Tuesday from all this buying…

    TES, one thing I’m going to look for is a lower RSI2 reading. The second block of SPY added on Friday will likely be taken off on the first profitable close.

    These studies used a simple time based exit as I was trying to determine what edge exists right after entry and how long that edge persists.

    With 3 consecutive up days the edge goes negative after 5 days or so (I’m going from memory rather than click back to look at the study) and with 4 consecutive up days the edge persists positively for the full 20 days tested.

    And that is why I think we may be looking at an intermediate term top.

      Doesn’t look like it, does it C&G?
      I’ll remain short today but will regroup if necessary based on today’s close.
