Thank you. It would have been better if I actually took it. But I think someone here did :)

I'm so glad! Wish I had the guts to do it - but you just never know how the market will react. Hope you CAT trade from the top was a good one.

I do quick plays, if I can, call or put options, low risk high return. Hoping to be right more than wrong, so I pick carefully. I put sooo many hours into studying, waiting, seems like forever, to make a trade. But, its been a good 12 months. Caught CAT twice now on the way down from that top. Yeh its one thing to "think" you are right, yet quit another to risk real money on it. Nervous stomach for sure. Although I don't depend on it, its nice to check my opinions against yours and others here on tradingview. Thanks for posting. It is greatly appreciated.

Cool:) Wish I swung it short. Even when it back tested the 100wma which I called for. But now that trading view has alerts - that won't happen again !

That's nice, and useful. Alerts are so helpful. Now if only my VXX options will pay off. Today was good start, but apple's earnings after hours report will probably set up tomorrow for an up day... but these days you just never know. The VXX chart from summer 2011 is so, so similar to right now, and if it does spike (really don't know what will cause it - the thing you don't expect usually), well, then I'll take the profits, but for now, its just insurance.
