get the return history of the vix short term futures index that svxy promises the inverse return of then run a few scenarios of being short through a real vol spike and how long it takes to recover afterwards (notice you're receiving the % returns and you're shorting something with a small...

if you're trading at home and the difference in speed between a wireless router and wired router is going to be your edge, i think there is a lot more you need to work on.
