We shorted 100 shares of SPY on Nov 11, 2010. The index has now clearly broken the upward trendline (see chart) and has started to fall. Our target was $118.30 and that was hit today. I did not close the position because of the continued pressure on the market. You can take profits of $262 hear if you wish. I have decided to keep my position short and instead moved my STOP Loss to $119.55 to lock in $136 of profit on the trade. I chose $119.55 as the STOP because it is 6 cents above the highest price of the SPY today(see chart)
