#SPXcampaign #VIXIndicator As I study and analyze the past performance of the VIX Indicator, I am struck at how resilient the Upside Warning is. It is a better indicator than the Downside Warning. Today we again saw its potency. After weakness last week failed to cancel the warning, we saw three consecutive days of a much lower VIX. This provides further validation of the original Upside Warning. (I will post a chart).

My account experienced a substantial drawdown today as I wasn’t able to keep up with this sharp move. I am comfortable in the fact that I know I can roll as necessary and I will make it back on the next significant pullback in the market. That could be a month or more away, but it will happen.

I stopped out on three call spreads. I have only rolled one thus far.

Bought to close $SPX Dec 9th 2230/2255 call spreads for 11.20. Sold for 1.30 on Nov 8th.
Rolled: Sold to Open $SPX Dec 23rd 2245/2270 call spreads for 9.10, and Dec 23rd 2175/2150 put spreads for 1.55. I stayed at same position size for the calls and 1.5x size for the puts, so the roll resulted in a .13 credit. The call spread is pretty close to the money, but since it is 2 weeks DTE it is more manageable than the Dec 9th spread that it replaces.

Bought to close $SPX Dec 15th 2255/2280 call spreads for 3.85. Sold for 1.30 on Nov 17th.
Bought to close $SPX Dec 23rd 2260/2285 call spreads for 5.35. Sold for 1.70 on Nov 21st.
Both of these hit my stop of 20-points OTM. I will look to roll this week.

I am still left with four call spreads that have past my stop levels. Will decide how to manage depending on how the week plays out.
