I expected a flat day but somehow came out ahead. Started a discretionary position in AAPL. I might buy 10 more at 500. The market seems too quiet and I don't like that. Maybe the cliff will be a non-event but I'll try to reduce my longs and trade ZIV instead of XIV (ZIV seems to work better for my systems overall except it has no volume). I was just reading the history of the VIX and how it went up 300% on the Black Monday. I am pretty sure that would have pushed XIV into a negative territory (lol).

It looks like you are a manager of WTS and you are managing some traders and you are getting override from your traders. Does your compliance officer know that you are posting here in Elite trader in order to recruit more people? Have you got his prior approval to post your results here? Based on my belief you should stop posting here unless you get approval from your compliance officer.

I ran out of luck today. Tomorrow is again looking very bearish for my systems. We'll see how that will work out. I bought UUPT as partly a hedge/partly cash cushion in case we fall of the cliff. (I bought a bunch of UUP calls in another account). I might buy SPY puts too.

Haven't been active for a while ... decided to see what i still know. Today was a good day for trading ... at least for me. +$43 today. Seems like I still have the skills. Took profit twice on the same stock.
