These days happen once in a while.
This is a payback time for the "falling knifes" strategy.
Last time it happened on 6-21-2012
Figuratively speaking, the XBars strategy works like an insurance.
We buy stocks that other traders try to sell on any price.
If we get a bounce(it happens more often than not) we collect premium.
Sometimes, very significant one.
If not, we pay the price like today.
Most importantly is the statistical edge on the distance which XBars present.
