Stopped out of both VIX puts and SPY Calls 1238 SPX. Will reconsider going long on a cross above 1242 once again, but at this point I see no support until 1172. There are probably some sort of support along the way, but they look minor to me.
Long SPY Oct 120 Call. Long VIX Oct 30 Put. SPX @1220. Stop 1215 SPX. Profit target, not sure, probably 1242-1260. There is minor support here. A gamble for sure, but not an unreasonable one.
Stopped out of SPY calls, but surprisingly, the VIX puts are breakeven so I am leaving them on. The stop on the SPY calls was probably too tight, but I have seen down 100 SPX days. Vola says that doesn't happen today, but who knows, there is still 1 1/2 hours the markets are open. I am keeping my losses small. When I get a hold of one I will make it all back and then some, in spades.
If this doesn't move above 1220 soon, I am out of the VIX puts too. I am now red on them and if this were going to turn around, it would have done so near here. I will reeval again soon.
