    Is there a limit on the number of TVIX shares you can buy? Thx

  2. Putting a break even + 1 stop in. Let's see how much risk free permabear $$$ there is in the market.

    I don't think so, it has jumped over 40%:in the last week and half, the vix is above 20 so I would hold off with making any trade, the best time to buy tvix is under 2.50 or when the vix is under 14.....
    if you buy, buy 1/4 position
    last 2 days I bought small positions in xiv spxl and tna just to hedge against my CVOL and TVIX positions

    If vix gets to 30+ you could see $5+ on tvix

    Thanks for the response. I did attempt to buy TVIX over 2 hours ago and was told by IB there was a 500 share limit.

    500 share limit? You mean a minimum amount of shares you have to buy?

    No a maximum. "....order exceeds size limit of 500."

    Wow, what if you buy in separate transactions, I have had no problems buying in 1000 share lots, even with CVOL.

    Thanks for the help. I'll see what they have to say, if they ever bother to respond. My guess is there's some glitch somewhere.

    No problem, welcome


    Could be or else they have a limit due to the fact it's a 2X etf


    Just bought some JDST under 10
    very risky etf but fun to trade in small amount of shares....just 100 shares this time around, will average down if it breaks below $8

    Just curious, where are all the "risk free" and "so easy a caveman can do it" posts?
