    A profitable journal with all entries/exits posted in advance

    Gold is going back up but not silver. I might buy some UGLD but I don't like buying things that are already going up. As always, if I buy some I will let you all know either ahead of time or in real time here and on Twitter so no one accuses me of posting trades after the fact.

    Do full-time forex traders exist or is it just make believe?

    Someone could post real time trades in a journal thread. This would obviously be hard if they were scalping, but if it's longer term it's very doable. I've been doing it for years. You can't edit posts here so there's no deleting trades that didn't work out or changing entry points. Of...

    Explain VIX ETFs to me like I'm 5

    The VIX goes up and down. I want to trade something that mimics its movement. I don't think there's any complex understanding required. I don't care how VIX is calculated; I want to trade something that behaves like the VIX.

    Explain VIX ETFs to me like I'm 5

    Maybe those ETFs, yeah, cuz they don't really seem to follow the VIX very closely.

    Explain VIX ETFs to me like I'm 5

    It does not appear that OEC has VIX futures. Do only certain brokers have them?

    Explain VIX ETFs to me like I'm 5

    SVXY seems to be the only one that actually moves, but it's inverse, and doesn't seem to be proportional to the actual VIX: Plus I don't buy things that are in up trends.

    Explain VIX ETFs to me like I'm 5

    Under what conditions will TVIX (Daily 2x VIX ST ETN) begin to rise? Two years ago it was $1,009 per share. Today it is $3.26.

    What happens if the underlying of a 3x ETF drops more than 33% in a day?

    So it would go to 0 and be worthless with no chance of going back up?

    I read somewhere lumosity doesn't do what it claims to do. I can't remember the details of it, though.

    What happens if the underlying of a 3x ETF drops more than 33% in a day?

    Obviously it's a black swan even but what happens to UGLD is GLD drops over 33% in a single day? UGLD is 3x GLD so a 33% drop in GLD = a 100% drop in UGLD.
