Closing Thursday's VXX 8/21 $21 Put (short) Position

I'm closing last Thursday's Trade Idea: VXX Short/Put Position and capturing a decent double digit gain. I'm still leaning toward a pullback, but even if we don't get one, I'd rather just take these gains off the table, reassess the market short term and then decide if I want to re-deploy the position, hopefully at a better entry or perhaps do something different, but you can't really go wrong with a near 50% gain for a day and a half of market exposure.

I'll follow up and have early indications as well.
