SSFs on VXX and UVXY?

need to hold a minimum of 20-22 contracts in total to reflect each of the trading days of the month and trade out one of the near contracts for one of the far every day.

Yeah, but trading 4- 5 cars, rotating one a week, would be CEFGW.
 
True, and I used to work for the government!

Don't even do this. Just trade the curve directly. VXX etc are simply retail products to give punters access to vol via equity ETFs.

The majority of them aren't even using VX spreads but a proportion of front to back month contracts.
 
Even there exists liquid SSF on VXX / UVXY, the HTB nature of those products would mean that the SSF prices are much lower than spot..
