I basically fucked up, I was so married to my perspective on what should have happened in CL that I couldn't act in a timely manner and get out with minimal pain. I had the discipline not to average down thank god. Basically sitting break even between the SHORT NQ gain from yesterday and Long CL lost. I am still a rookie what can you say.
A couple points above 2800 where B1S2 says is very important. Nothing much more than this. also, 2800 is a big deal, a round number to go below this is a big deal. If they tested it, and I was down a few points I figured it bounce above.
Well, score one for hedging....today is F'ing brutal! Edit: that hedge was on my portfolio generally, not the SPX.....but my portfolio was looking for a similar type move as the SPX position.
