conners vix buy signal today

vix fell 6% today and is sitting right on the 10 ma so any further fall in the vix will trigger a sell signal tomorrow. looks like a
nice profitable trade.


Exit (on the close) the day the VIX trades (intraday) below yesterday's 10-day moving average (reversion to the man). Or exit within two to four days.
 
Quote from ArchAngel:

FYI - the VIX doesn't start being reported by CBOE until 15 minutes after the market opens - 9:45am ET...
That's because options themselves don't start trading until :10 minutes after the markets opens.

we just got a cvr3 sell\short signal if my calculations are right. the cvr3 buy signal was profitable lets see if the short signal works.


For Sells:

Today, the high of the VIX must be below its 10-day moving average.

Today, the VIX must close at least 10% below its 10-day moving average.

If rules 1 and 2 are met, sell on the close.

Exit (on the close) the day the VIX trades (intraday) above yesterday's 10-day moving average (reversion to the mean). Or exit within two to four days.

 
looks like we had a cvr3 buy signal at close again today if my calculations are right. anybody feel like buying? i bought a couple things at the close for a trade. dont like the seasonal timeframe to go very heavy long.
 
vhehn,
Is it important to now use VXO for the CVR signals, or do you expect the revised VIX to not show much difference?
