    Yes. Everybody is sweating the index rising hundreds after falling ~10,000. Woe is me.

    And your deep OTM calls are still not in the green.

    Just screaming buy everyday isn't a strategy.

    Gave back yesterday's profits taking small stops on partial position exits in overnight inverses.

    Keeping some shares in case this morning's unemployment numbers cause a selloff.

    Will definitely scale back into SQQQ SDOW TVIX etc today and tomorrow for weekend holds, bears definitely still in charge

    Sound linguistic analysis. Have to agree, that is a unique (and low IQ!) usage pattern.

    Depends on the chart and timeframe...

    Either PnL based or 2day lows
