@seth-golden quick question. When rsi makes new lows n price makes new highs. That’s a bearish divergence right? If I even explained right. -

Put spread cause u can get more premium that way using way less buying power. And of further down side Incase we did see vix 9-10 but don’t think so. Not like last year. I don’t know about the call side but I would assume ur fighting decay and time again now is not on your side.

If your nervous about a bad spike I would not hedge with uvxy or vxx calls.
I like to sell put spreads on vix when it’s around 12 and under. I sell about 4 months out. Gives me the ability to wait even as volume makes new lows the put spreads don’t move against u really much. Giving u ample time to wate for the spike. Mean while with vxx n uvx…[Read more]

Down almost 5% on the Dow now. So we broke that long record that they been talking about. And this is a good thing it finally happed right. Soon normalcy comes back? After the parobolic month of a life time just got beat up?

Also take a look at tasty works. You will love the cheap fees. 1 dollar per contract. Any more than 10contracks the fee goes no higher than 10 bucks. I beleive there stock fee is like 4 bucks or so

My guess is some time Monday we get a volume crush if not some time next week. Seems to be cooling off now. Hope it continues. It’s been 14 days since we hit new lows. It’s going to break that streak soon.

I say safer cause it’s money I am willing to lose. Never intended to profit. Like my safety net. It’s still cost significantly less than the short. But now it’s more profit letting it go on a spike I did not expect.

I did the short the box thing. But with call spreads. Then bought Calls to hedge but with lower price. Been letting the long calls go 1 by 1 every little bit it goes up. First time doing it and I like it. It’s probably safer to do it this way.

Not sure it’s safer if you hold it overnight. But nice job! I just covered that scalp per my update! Good action even with a drawdown day to keep the portfolio with realized gains!

I’ve been covering my shorts in relative short periods (hard for me to hold a long term core), I consider the LOB strategy very similar, except it takes more MR, and you still need to time it at perfection, or you will see the profits diluting on one side or the other.
For me, just the fact that I need to think when to add or reduce my long is a…[Read more]-
I would agree with your comments Guillermo. We have a different operation as I manage a portfolio, demanding of me profits and to the extent I can actively manage strategies I’m obligated. But for individuals I certainly wouldn’t recommend the LOB, very difficult and needs precision timing.

I bought a bunch of long calls almost equalized out my short calls to see what would happen if they shut down.

I like that trade seems like a no brainer. Draw down was virtually non existent.

Yes that’s a good idea. But my account is kinda small yet but growing. And that takes a lot of my buying power away to use on drops.

I will close mine out tomorrow if it goes any higher. Mine were for feb 14 so I had lots of time to sit and wait.

My vix bear put spread is green by about 20%
Started to begin adding to VMIN about every .10 move down.
