Questions on Trading VIX and VIX Derivatives - Liquidity and Strategies

variance future vs vix over a period of extraordinary events might work
Except variance futures aren’t trading at the moment - Sep is the start date for the new version and it’s likely gonna be DoA (like everything that CBOE does)
 
I'd suggest that anyone who is tempted to trade VIX derivatives just shoot yourself now and avoid a lot of grief later.
That's a funny recommendation considering I trade them for 4 years and never even lost a penny and in fact have a after tax return of about 55% return for those years
 
Not even a penny?! That’s impressive :)
Indeed I also cannot believe how I manage this a few times I had to modify a position flying down the road with the phone battery running out and punch in an order before it dropped but that was unusual usually it was all very cool and controlled

Are you related to Chuck Norris?
 
Chuck Norris doesn't modify positions or punch in orders. Orders punch themselves out of fear of disappointing Chuck.
 
I'll never forget modifying a 6K lot in GME vol during a HALO-jump. Somehow IBKR provided bband at 20K feet and it was smooth. They even allowed me to buy the bid on the FOK.
