The bottom line, the short-term trend is up. I hold long position overnight (new strategy, always hold).

No idea about tomorrow, but I’ll assume it’s up because of the bullish seasonality before the Good Friday. There’s a potential short setup though as VIX closed below its BB bottom. The setup needs VIX to rise into the BB to confirm so not yet and personally I’m not sure if short against the trend is a good idea.

In case you want to know, although got a rough start and the short position probably would be stopped out tomorrow, but Cobra Impulse System still is in sell mode as of now.

Demo account for short-term model, $200 max loss allowed per trade. Mechanical trading signal, for fun only.
