premium sellers, reread and listen to the previous poster. i have a funny feeling he has done some serious selling, lol.

we'll see as you are repeating my options leading point. anyway, i don't trade direction so don't call moi an optimist!

maybe, i watch cme gold vix every few days for life but vix futures did not take off til vix options got going so i just figure the options flow can lead to futures flow or vice versa.

lol, i just read it too. i think cboe/cfe will make this one work due to the options edge i expect them to have; thus driving the futures volume. of course i prefer the oil vix futures the get some traction due to greater vol swings in crude; but i'll take any new vix curve.

i do believe you have not computed properly what vol will do to the spreads when combined with short strike breaches. if you did this properly you would have different conclusions. anyway, good luck...but with your limited experience selling your untested strat to others is downright unethical.

howard, i'm no fan of oc or atticus but nothing they said was patently false; in fact their points are understatements. i did my share of credit spreads in 08 taking decent sized losses. there is ZERO you can do to protect, hedge, etc on a volplosion or sudden move through short strikes. you...

howard, back in 01 i was doing your type of spread trades. let's just say -50 spx over multiple days will destroy you no matter how much you have engineered. vol rises far more than you planned, lines in the sand get breached, etc. i know many intelligent traders who felt they were ready and...

it bugged me for a while (mine are 10 and 12) but now i am very happy because i realized i could not change things. it is amazing still to me seeing the marriages in my town fall apart all at the same time. i guess some people don't want to adapt. adapt and be happy or don't get married.

i've been married 18 yrs. overall quite happy but there should be some points made. if you pick on the marriage haters and don't have kids you have little right imo. before we had kids it was like a tv show marriage..but once the kids came what a change. still happy but not easy. i would...

hey moron, i explained it in my previous post and as i expected few (of course atticus followed ) understood. please try trading the futures, please.

to further clarify the vol move today the VIX calculation switches from the front two series of SPX options to the second and third expirations to arrive at a theoretical thirty-day maturity for the index ten days before VIX expiration. So while Friday the index used February and March SPX...

well, they are very new. i've been bidding some lately with no luck. for me i feel vix fut options would be a great fit for hedging so i look forward to good markets there more than gold vix, but i want that gold curve too. fyi, i'm bidding feb 11 25 call if you want to sell it to me, lol

lol, thanks a lot..i got them up. can't value it cause only front has traded by you. i get that all the time in the regular vix when a new month comes on and i want some..always says same thing until some volume gets up there. again, thanks a lot i will enjoy watching these.

ok, great. i look forward to them coming to ib and getting some options, which should help with vix futures volume. my trade will be spreads in the curve, long vol, short vol. good luck.

hey..you went outright long on gold vix futures (no spread )? i see no volume and what firm are you using?

without a doubt that was the reason.

no way he has the account or balls to short apple . clearly this is simply for attention; something i'll never understand.

as long as spot vix plummets vxx will also; but on a spot move to 20 from here it will spike . due to the fact imo futures have much less premium to spot as they did in the recent past making a spot move up that may possibly move this etn more so. in any case we are on vol lows i would not be...

jerkstore you are correct. for the futures most traders will find little logic in how they trade due to so many factors. also trying to game fairval is not recommended as mm's catch up within seconds. these are mainly used by market makers offsetting risk for vix options and the such. the...

I concur , great app worked great and fast. The dedicated stick may be a bit easier to run but if you are mildly tech savvy PDA net works perfect.
