Yes, it has done some of the whipsaw. When the volatility dried up there for a while the system went sideways and pulled back off of the equity high. I have been patient with it considering the gain for the year is still considerable, but it is not the action I was hoping for over the past 3 months.
I still intend to properly update this thread at some point. Thought I would give it some time to see if it resumed its equity uptrend or I pulled the plug before updating, but neither of those options have happened yet. It has been in limbo much longer than I anticipated.
Currently positioned short. This first look at 3rd quarter GDP in the morning will probably make or break the trade, but the tech earnings misses tonight are helpful. Although the bounce back after the AAPL lows is somewhat concerning.
