We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions at 9:35 a.m. The market traded in a fairly tight range for the first 30 minutes of the day.

The inability of the market to head lower was concerning at this point. As the market started to rally we exited our positions just before 10:30 a.m. for -19% in SPX and -19% in SPY. Just didn’t go our way, so we shake it off and look forward to what tomorrow will bring.
