Trading notes: Over the next three days, there will be an elevated amount of headline risk that can affect the stock market, from Jerome Powell's testimony before Congress this morning (10am ET), to CPI on Wednesday and PPI on Thursday before the market open. Each of these events have the ability to rattle the market

I closed 1/3 of SDS at 19.37 for +4.6% profit.
