VIX trade for 8/18 exp

- Start date
I was too early on this swing. Uncomfortable as I'm away from the tail. Moving stop to 71.50 and looking for 39 or lower by tuesday. It should break much harder than 39 though.Quote from SrRuthenate:
Shorting this close, A of ABC completed imo. Sharp B to follow before rally in to end of month. Your mileage may vary.
Margin troubles across the globe in many products. Rumours about Chicago firm, not often this happens. Usually very, very bearish. Not talking my position...:eek:
Cashed in some at 39 to go off to the titty bar for some interviews.
atticus: Do you make these Vix fly plays in lieu of bear plays on the index itself?. They look very very good from reward/risk profile viewpoint, but it seems that getting filled at the middle is a difficult chore, both in and out. No?.

I can usually beat mid by 1% or so within 30-minutes of working the order.
Let's say I'm bearish into mid September, where I will offset. How would you play an allin bet in ES and/or VIX options today?.
Bearish ES, and all the correlated indexes US and European. VIX will likely increase if it plays out.
