1) after the market news/ bad data I immediately hopped in CSX short with risk above the area that it came from, which was a lot of space but 66 was an important area so I had conviction this would continue lower. Took half off at the half dollar mark/when I was up a decent amount in it, and stopped out for the rest when .70 offer lifted (it had held previously).
2) Reshorted CSX when it couldn't hold above 66 nor get to vwap. Took 1/3 off when I was up the same amount per share that I risked, then took more off when it made a bit of a higher high and the rest off for breakeven.
