Here we go again! Buy back in at 11,510.74. Just "sat out" a 2.9% rally from the last sell.

In the short term, you would make pretty good money doing the exact opposite. Buy when it drops below 11400, sell when it goes over

Yep, whipsaws coming fast and furious now.
If you had done what you are suggesting, and bought a 3-month at-the-money straddle at the outset to hedge against a big breakout move up or down, you would now own a free 39-day at-the-money straddle.

Yes, it is, but the total whipsaw cost is now at 15%. Back in July, when this was started, a 3-month put struck at 11,400 would have cost under 5%.
