VXX Trade on Aug 24, 2015 14:47 from KevinL_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Crazy Day in the markets--thinkorswim was acting crazy in the AM so I missed the big bounce at the open. Traded the VIX towards end of day as the market was dropping back down.

VXX was flagging just over VWAP and EMAs, Entered on the flag break, stop just under VWAP, around $24.00 risking about $250 Target was 25.50.

I'd give myself maybe a B on this one, as I did hit the target, I had 2:1 but I sold out half quicker than I should have, as the market craziness was freaking me out a bit.
