Inquiring minds want to know!!!
ajensen, I saw in another thread you posted this: "Regular trading in VIX futures ends at 4:15pm EST, 15 minutes later than for ETFs, so if...
Good question. No idea!
Whoa, that would happen? Thanks!
I follow you in part ajensen - if TVIX got too big versus the total futures market its buying/selling behavior could influence said market,...
ET180, what is the time decay present in VXX that is not present in trading spreads on the VIX? My understanding (consistent with Maverick's...
Ajensen, you also made this comment, which seems very interesting: "VXX is not leveraged, so I don't think it has the same risks as XIV, SVXY, or...
I think I follow you beerntrades, I understand how there is no "VIX" per se, only futures and options on it. So I follow you that they could move...
Thanks ajensen! I'm trying to think through your post. "When the underlying rises, it must buy back some shorts to prevent the exposure from...
Sorry Maverick, I left out the word "futures". VIX short term futures index (you can see it referenced here...
Thanks beerntrading! I follow you. What I was trying to get at with this question is really what I am asking Maverick when I said: "So, let's...

Thanks Maverick. I've got excel - what else might I need to test various price shocks on these things? What's still throwing me for a loop is...
LOLOL. He was smart taking it slow, waiting for the market to REALLY crash and to then get in. :)
Maverick74 (and beerntrading), thanks a TON. I understand what you are saying. So let me ask you this. For UVXY and TVXS, is there any...
Saw that as well stevenpaul. VXX up when it should be down, XIV and SVXY waaaaay down when they should be waaaaay up. Compare VXX with VIIX,...
Thanks Maverick74. Then why are they shutting down XIV? And I read last night that holders of both XIV and SVXY might get nothing as they were...
I realize that being long UVXY/TVIX is bad in the long term, given that they will always fall given enough time, and that shorting them is...
The problem is I think you are forgetting one thing. Because it is euro exercise, a VIX call option might have a LESSER value the longer the...
Interesting. So to sum up the point you think I am missing - my VIX options will likely suffer the "contango" same or similar losses over time as...
