the whole sequence of events was maddening. play it safe, wait for a top, selloff , then sell the top of first major bounce. then we rally and go to highs yest. today we gap down but because i now have a crap entry we open near where i bought puts. i was ok at that point. then sox doesnt tick an inch lower while spx dow nas ndx btk bkx all puke for a half hour. then as if taht wasnt bad enough, market rallies and i take a nap.
yes trading can try us at times. it was just to unfreaking believeable that the one index i had puts on would be the lone ranger of strength.
thanks for commisserating with me.
