Scalp on VXX that featured a good add but was abruptly exited when the SPY bounced. Was watching futures/indices after the open and they seemed weak; VIX and VXX began to spike so I bought VXX as it was breaking out with stop at 11.50 area. I added more shares on a dip below 12 in anticipation of 12 breakout, making my average 11.79 but unfortunately the panic settled so I got out for a small win
