lol cache, you're funny.... let me ass ume you are no longer short may jun from 120! short mar april is similar as long april may but the fly affords more direct hedge to short vol, hope you really did it. i was/am in none of the first two switches.

yeah, although i feel i worked my ass off..i got lucky more than smart.. week 11

i found God

i know, lol i'm not even in that but i'd hate to get a guy trying these in futures as a starting point.

for any of you guys new to this april futures are 7.13 premium to spot and it will converge even with a spot vix spike to 18-19 if you hang in there. through options i'd pick short april calls, long may if you wanted to play it. there is a demand right now for april due to the etn's etc so i'm...

best one of week so far..will do week after data in. swings in vol as usual.

ammo i am not saying anything about the subject of mkt manipulation (of which i agree with), please. it's about heavily saying markets will drop and then simply ignoring the repeated remarks and rewriting history. you guys can have the last word..i'm busy with actual trading.

my points were made for ethical reasons re you. of course as a vendor to admit being on the wrong side of market direction is impossible. you repeatedly called for selloffs and we did nothing but rise and that's a fact.

I'm fading it.

Lol, you are the last guy I thought I'd hear let it go. IMO, this one time Mr 777 is totally correct and even worse sykes is from a town I live near.

week 10

For anyone who wants to trade vol products as a directional trade...the only way is future to future spreads if you want any chance to earn. There is no other way. Good luck.

was off the previous week due to family vacation... this is week of 2/27 to 3/2 realized p&l (strictly vix futures only account i post) still trading very lightly ytd expecting like everyone else a correction of some sort. ps: d08 , very nice trading!!!

on my basket of equities that calls are sold against i constantly buy them back...i rarely ever let them expire. doing such has saved me a lot of money. same goes for sold puts...never ever look for last 10 cents.

wait til you have kids...those private schools are just a small expense :eek:
