Bumping along the top!

Well, the S&P 500 didn't go down, but it has started just bumping along the top:

This is ideal for our neutral trade, except for volatility being so low. But this pattern allows us to swing back to a profit on the futures trade, just selling a put every week for another $300 or $400 (at this volatility level) ...
