Quote from sellindexvol66:

so once you score the FV of a vix future; what can you do with that? lol



You can go long, you can go short, or you can let "sellindexvol66" tell us what to do with it.

I've never traded futures as a product or the VIX options specifically. Your name implies you trade volatility so I'm assuming you can reply to that?

[I don't know what the FV of a futures contract is]

note the "lol"

omg, my point is/was that you "clearly had no answer" (just as 99.9% of traders have no clue in vix stuff) and that was not picking on you. even messing in options without knowing the nuances you will get killed. i am just trying to save some of you guys some money, that's all.
