Vol-trading for beginners

√time neutral with listed options, but I trade the VX 1:1, 1:2:1. I don't ratio vol-futures (net>1).

 

I just reposed a trade your mentioned. I think it was your son's trade?

I was actually going to try that trade and use 2x my normal time frame.

 

Now inverted by 2 points

 

In a decade? Care to elaborate why this is? What are you looking at and trading? Thanks

 

I bought a put ladder across the entire vix strip.

 

What is a put ladder?

Never mind, I googled for the answer.

Still my question is what do you mean across the entire vix strip and why you bought?

 

I just don’t foresee that ending well.

 

You lost me at "bought". I don't like buying anything but hard assets these days.
