I know you're a microcephalic who blew-up your $100 FX account here in a journal, and couldn't value VXX if it landed on your face. Not a hint of sarcasm in those statements.
u do not want to initiate a "long spot vix replicated trade" when vol is high since vol is a mean reversion product so say vix was 15 then u decided to go long vix via the calendar @ 18 u better hope it continues up i have been trading nkvi and its at 22 currently a low.my trade is long dec short january. i personally going to hold it to december expiration.as the guy rallymode says there is nothing closer to being long vol as the front month unless i guess u just go long december futures.
sir, i was responding to your vol line question. i'm sure u are amazing. i just so happen to trade asia vol so i know a thing or 2 about this also. the issue at hand really should be the retard who was given good advice and ignores it..most likely he just wants to post more than learn vol trading.
Amazing? I was simply asking for something less vague when referring to free-monies. I am all for it. Om nom nom. tradingjournals is the eurotrash version of the state-college reject. A failed trader ($100 FX journal) who has resorted to trolling forums.
I was in the holiday spirit. My gift to the forum I wouldn't call it free edge as everyone in the vix complex trades it in some form but I can certainly see why it looks that way given how sticky mid term vols have been all year. Free or not it's the cheapest long spot vix replication at the moment. B, the less vague info is in my monthly newsletter that's going live next year
Another day, the same thing like friday: VXX gains little: 45.77 +0.38 (0.84%) VIX 14.25 +0.55 (4.01%) Is the cost basis roll in VXX cheap or expensive? If the front month goes over the back month, we will see how things would change in VXX vs. VIX. At that point, I would go to VXX, because I would get paid for the carry, rather than paying for the carry.
