Dude, I made money on the NQ. 55.75 - 36.25.

My bad, for some reason in my head I saw you covered at 66.25 while reading the post. I should avoid the number 3 for a while.

I have large concentrated short vol trades on. Like $120K in vega. I would have gained 5x more on vols if NDX had opened above 14400 today.

The vol-trading seminar is booked. Oct 4-8. I will probably add a day on Sat for a discussion session.
