I will leaving early (1/2 days) Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I have family in town, it's a holiday week and we are out of all but AAPL and AMGN. Holiday weeks are often the worst performing weeks for the system, low volume kills option trading as price can easily chop outside of normal trend parameters. I didn't want to exit VXX or GLD today, but I did anyway. A system is a system. Any exaggerated market volatility later this week and I will make very effort to be back at the controls. One last thing: VZ is in Long_Pending mode. The portfolio will take the trade if it is triggered, ( "a system is a system"), but if you ever were going to pass on a trade, this one would be on that list.
