Damage control: closed my SPX butterflies at minor losses ($2900 avg over 5 accounts).

Adding long puts to my XOP and XBI Jade lizards. Just to control margin, only paper losses at this point. Will manage as calendars/diagonals now.

Stay flexible! Not trading anything else today but I see some trades setting up with the bump in the VIX.

Today daughter is home from college and she lives away year round now so we are either going SUP surfing or flat water paddle after lunch. Sounds like she is leaning towards flat water.
