    I wanted to “like” your post but thought that might come across weird since you’re reporting a down day. At any rate, it’s nice to see numbers from a vendor and I’m glad to see you’re trading bigger, I remember a while back you were struggling with that.

    Here’s my day so far. Went big into FNGU, UDOW, and TNA this morning after feeling a big bounce coming. I’m looking for a sign to get out but not seeing it yet.

    Edit: right after posting I see SVIX is trembling just a bit…

  3. These vix note based instruments are really problematic , why bother ? Why not just trade the futures and options ?

    sucks to lose.

    if you are going to post winning and losing days, why not post your track record?

    The OP really trades! He even provides proof he does some volume.

    A track record that is negative or break even at best is bad promotion material.
    On the other hand a really nice positive track record would be marketing gold.

    We can therefore only reach one conclusion as to why he doesn't post his track record and instead only posts his volume.

    Could you provide some context, so we can be even more impressed.
    What was that as a percentage of your trading capital.
