VIX is the ticker symbol for the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, a popular measure of the implied volatility of S&P 500 index options. A high value corresponds to a more volatile market and therefore more costly options, which can be used to defray risk from volatility.[1] If investors see high risks of a change in prices, they require a greater premium to insure against such a change by selling options. Often referred to as the fear index, it represents one measure of the market's expectation of volatility over the next 30 day period.
So you bought when premium was the highest. A falling vix is not good for your "long" position

If you were long calls from Feb 20, then you've lost on two fronts: vol and theta. Yea, this may be a temp bottom, but every intraday rally seems to get sold and the collapse in VIX on the 24th was way too premature to really hold water.
I think that dam is getting weaker by the tick.
