The bottom line, the short-term trend is down. I hold partial short position overnight.
VIX shot up more than 18% on a single day, buy SPX at close and sell the next day’s close since year 2000, you have 81% chances. On a little bit longer term than tomorrow however, if this is a NORMAL market (which I’m not sure because of POMO), the very first rebound would fail eventually and today’s low would likely be retested.
Demo account for short-term model, $200 max loss allowed per trade. Mechanical trading signal, for fun only.
