What happened with TZA Friday and SSO Thursday??

Some quick things, in note style, not prose:

On Thursday I entered SSO and the trade went against me... nonetheless I was "persistent" in holding that SSO all day LOL... I really did see bullish bounce signs, wasn't holding in "hope". (I always say "hope is not a valid strategy"). I could have held the SSO overnight and exited with a profit on it (because it did go up as I expected, but too late), but I exited with a loss on Thurs... didn't want the overnight risk... though the SSO did do the up down up that I thought the pattern would produce...only problem was that the DOWN came on Thurs and the UP on Friday...also I mentioned that the UP might not happen Thursday so I was aware of the risk.

Losses are inevitable in trading.

On Friday, you know that I planned to do a new swing TZA, as I posted this intention. I did enter as planned, then suddenly the TZA stopped behaving, so I sold that for a profit on Friday,instead of holding it. I sold, not for the profit, but because the chart pattern changed and I didn't like it. The TZA has risk of going down, so once again I'll wait... more details on the TZA in post below.
