Yeah, selling Feb and buying Jan anywhere from Dec 18-20th is a really difficult concept to follow. I am curious as what vol-line relates to "vol is high."
Quote from NKVI>NH:
u do not want to initiate a "long spot vix replicated trade" when vol is high since vol is a mean reversion product
so say vix was 15 then u decided to go long vix via the calendar @ 18 u better hope it continues up
i have been trading nkvi and its at 22 currently a low.my trade is long dec short january. i personally going to hold it to december expiration.as the guy rallymode says there is nothing closer to being long vol as the front month unless i guess u just go long december futures.

Please forget it. I got the guy (rallymode) into trading of the product.

sir, i was responding to your vol line question.
i'm sure u are amazing. i just so happen to trade asia vol so i know a thing or 2 about this also. the issue at hand really should be the retard who was given good advice and ignores it..most likely he just wants to post more than learn vol trading.
Quote from NKVI>NH:
thats some seriously free edge dude. i doubt the guy or any of these guys can margin even 1 spread or understand the concept u just framed. jeeze.
I wouldn't call it free edge as everyone in the vix complex trades it in some form but I can certainly see why it looks that way given how sticky mid term vols have been all year. Free or not it's the cheapest long spot vix replication at the moment.Quote from drownpruf:
