Small quibble, XIV, SVXY and the such aren't trading spreads. They're trading a basket. Had they traded the M1-M2 spread the results might have...
Here's the guy arguing with everyone about whether it's a head and shoulders or not: [ATTACH]
If you short UVXY you're shorting a continual blend of front and back month VX futures meaning you also have to hedge both months to be on the...
Horrible action in these indexes lately. Sure there are big moves but not without heaps of bullshit surrounding them, and I find it hard to trust...
Looks like a broadening megaphone in this downtrend. I would not be surprised to see 2515 limit down before NY open and potentially a blow out...
All these entities who halt or stop things from further participants taking part in the market only increases volatility not decreases it. Organic...
That thing is laughable. It says right in the description: "For this reason, to copy the ABBEY TRADING SIGNAL, YOU MUST HAVE an account with the...
Right, the bet that vol will go up but only so far and not beyond that. Seems like it's a bet on the ole Yellen style market coming to the rescue...

XIV is trading at 19 right now, SVXY trading at 18. Looks like the entire vol landscape might be in for a major shakeup after this, we'll see. It...

Yep, saw it. My pos was 0.7 -> 3, but sure selling at 10 would have been much nicer. Problem is when I closed out the move was already pretty...
In reality these are the kind of corrections that markets are supposed to normally have - but just not in this small window of time. The market...
2580-2600 key area on longer term charts IMO. If we head lower than that then it'll continue to be interesting.
ES trading like FDAX. Liquidity risk looms here and that's one of the main reasons I'm not putting on any positions right now.
Closed all VIX March 20 calls, ES shorts, whatever. Content to just observe at this point. edit: march not june
XIV is an ETF/ETN with a constant maturity 30 day vol accomplished by their balance of front and back month VX contracts. It's not a CBOE product...
Just forget about VIX cash/spot with the options. Your underlying is the futures and hence there's a term structure involved. If in June, the term...
Spot VIX doesn't matter for it's options unless we're talking near settlement or so. VIX options are really just options on futures - where said...
