SPX Credit Spread Trader

I think many of your posts are quite useful and informative. But others sometimes get a whiff of superiority about them. I'm sure some of my posts have a green cloud floating up :) The point is, we're here attempting to learn and improve our game. If you disagree with the current topic, your input is much appreciated. But veiled putdowns only stifle people's willingness to share their thoughts and opinions.

And for the record, sorry coach, but I don't think JA looked her best from what I see here:picture

Anyway, Just another useless post of mine, carry on if you think all those tent poles improve your expectancy.

What? I thought that's what ET was for? So superior traders can come out of the closet and finally have a place to post their superior results and be worshipped without having to reveal anything due to confidentiality clauses.

Seriously though, not sure how you got all that from my "brokerage stock" one liner but if you did you cant possibly be for real. For all you know i am the kid who serves beef sandwiches to traders at the deli shop across CBOE. As such i most likely have nothing of any substance to add on the subject of replicating camping gear with position risk graphs :D

Yes, prior to FOMC announcements, it has happened. The VIX coupled with equity-only put/call ratio are decent (but not perfect) at signalling potential reversals. Otherwise VIX is an indicator which actually lags SPX movement (by seconds); it is not reflective of instantaneous time.

Frankly, I couldn't use an instantaneous reflection. I just need something I can use to trigger an alert or possibly an order. I've an order in now to be placed when the VIX hits 14.

That's what I'm most interested in.
 
I expect IV is larger than HV in normal market environment. Recently I found that IV is lower than HV. Under what conditions does it happen? How does it affect our trading strategies?
