Trade Review
No trade today Price gapped down in the over night sessions We filled the gap and traded above the gap in the overnight and pre-market sessions and we were one directional without any significant retracements. No clean entries and any trade that presented itself would have been a trade near the HOD. The VIX gapped up on the 3:15am open We completely filled the gap and traded through to the down side. On the 9:30 open we gapped to downside and never retested the gap to continue further down for the day. There was 10am news so I was inclined to sit for the news release but we were already gone.
