Ripper, why did you sell XIV @ 79.82 only to buy it the next day @ 79.85 ?

These are blind signals, just following the buy/sell signal at the close each day.
Signal had been on a buy. It moved to cash which meant selling the position. The following day it moved back to a buy, which meant buying it again at the closing price.
