Bleaky Monday

General notes
Got a quite mixed start for the market, thus (beside being bearish, due to the VIX being positive)

Watchlist additions and filtered trade candidates
No watchlist addition (for the past two market closes).
Did not filter for TTC-A, GAPHV, MACDV.

Nikkei...17455.37...+2.75...+0.0%.
Hang Seng...20556.57...-10.02...-0.1%.

RIMM and later BG was looking like a good candidate for a Tuto Put trade, but I was late to catch on both. (Quite a lot I shall work nowadays) and they have turned to the market by the time I was ready to roll.
