Thanks. When you have some time am curious your thoughts on the COT positioning in vx futures market. Realize it isn’t a timing tool but positioning appears to be getting somewhat extreme.

Hey Seth. I’ve been a member for a few months and was curious if you’ve always done these scalps in short vol products and how you manage those relative to a larger longer term core position.

A few like Chris Cole from Artemis Capital must have felt that…[Read more]

thx for this Seth….I just read your weekly piece, appreciate it…so are you not considering the amount of spec short interest in vx futures in terms of your trading strategy? I understand the open interest is much lower and the size of the vol complex is much much smaller making the vol explosion like in 2018 less likely…but I would think…[Read more]

Sell BA April 370/360 put spread to buy 435 call for $0.15 credit. (Note: Boeing’s stock closed Tuesday at $375.41.)

Traders should consider going short on two of Boeing’s suppliers: United Technologies (UTX) and Honeywell (HON).

How about selling some puts on this purchase today? Slightly out of the money.

Mitch Fahey replied to the topic Best broker to use? in the forum UVXY, TVIX, VXX, XIV, SVXY, VIXY, VMAX, VMIN 5 years, 11 months ago
