I believe a lot of good traders did the same thing. In Gartman's letter this morning he noted the reversal and said it was wiser to get out of the markets as well until a clear direction (potentially down) emerges. Though you squared your position, why would you not put it back on after the Close? Reason I as is because that's what I did when we closed lower today.
