Playing the Odds

Yesterday we filled the gap, and the morning ramp triggered a SPY buy signal, and a VXX sell signal.  Therefore I exited all short positions.  Al were profitable.  I then sat back in smug assurance as I watched the gains I made going long evaporate and go negative.

Then China opened and we rocketed up to where I bought everything yesterday.  It is like bull riding.

So where are we?  Seasonality and a pretty oversold market suggests we move higher for the next week, and that is where I will sit for now.  But rest assured this is just a bear rally.

I'll post any interesting set ups in the meantime.
