Good call today.
I was early on the retracement.
But was correct by end of day
rlim
I aggressively exited yesterday short call spread positions because I was worried SPY will see a support at 187.23 area (the open on Monday) and I had close to a 50% of expected profit. Didn't want to end up waiting for a week to actually reach the 50% of expected profit if I am correct.

I will need some confirmation tomorrow if we are at the bottom of a range. Even if we are at the bottom of a range, I don't think the risk:reward is warrant a trade. I expect strong resistance around the red trend line.
