Uvxy $27.31 +16.31% @ 04:00 Tick! VX ticked 24.52
Didn't get out of the airport until after 1:00, so I missed a great day.  JW, Yogi, JeffB, any of you get a piece of this?  I'm shorting overnight, but I think there's a good chance of a spike tomorrow before closing red, as well.  Anybody seeing anything I've missed?
Yes. Shorted the UVXY. Lots of buy programs kicked in at SPY Monthly S2. Volatility could collapse tomorrow.
spx dropped below it's 50day and as far as tracking futures, M1 has started it's 3rd week and contango is currently at 0.93%. the roll yield curve now looks like a step ladder and the vix index jumped above M5. powell speaks again on wednesday. when he spoke weeks ago when the  U.S. markets were at ATH's, the bears ran out roaring and its been downhill ever since. this time the bulls are hoping to regain control. it's the same old playbook. the markets can drop futher again tomorrow or there could be a dead cat bounce. therefore i'm in cash for now.

Added some puts but we're on vacation in SC this week, and today I wasn't able to do much of anything.  But I've said it several times -- one of the safest trades in these markets is shorting this thing whenever it has a run like this.  And I predict we have more turbulent times ahead (translation -- trading opportunities).  GL everyone!!
ill take it ! 50 to 60 next lets get it boys !
can we cross 30?!?! great day for longs , sad day for standard pours
I'm in cash, junior. Would have posted otherwise. You say you're long? Going to hold it overnight. Let us know, kid.
poor, don't waste your time posting....he is playing with monopoly money.
 Yeah, but I've been taking screen shots of his posts and showing them to some buddies.  We've been getting a kick out of it.
fly baby fly we have our black swan , god bless the chinsese and that kungflu chicken
$45 this week max upside $60 then the decay will take effect

This tracks a lot better then VXX. Only the losses track well for VXX. Scam
UVXY is no longer a good hedge (against large declines). Do you know other instruments?
i read some online reports that TVIX may make a comeback. you can only trade it now OTC.
sry is traditional. sqqq popular.
srty
Short from 22.63
not too bad...my 1% stop loss was not hit, so i guess i'm still in the game. but i may jump in sometime during AHT and re-adjust the trade.
 You're so obsessed with me it's flattering, kid.  Now about the trade you were going to post so someone might care about you even a little bit,,,
this whole thing aged quite well. burning your account now are we ?
remember folks uvxy decay is built in , price will always drift lower , dont let any uvxy bag holder convince you of $40 or $100 price targets

There probably will be a big spike up one of these days, but bagholders will ***up their accounts waiting for it.  Better to do bear spreads, etc., whenever it does go up.  Like right now, for example.
Another day of covering shorts early and then looking for a day trade long or short.  Decently profitable, but the intraday movement has been crazy.  Guess I'll just keep doing the same in moderation until the pattern breaks.  Green is green, I suppose.
in this weeks edition of elaborate ways to break even. poorstandards , which an options strategy , thats barely worth his time unless hes making 1.5% on a few million , which I doubt cuz he's straight autistic to the max , repetition , and hyper focus are all sign he has a special case
 LMAO You still here, kid? You're usually off skulking longer when you get burned for *******posting.  Going to try to help you, though at this point anyone here with a family member with autism thinks you're garbage.  I've managed to post most of my trades and profits this week.  Want anyone to give af about what you say?  Post a trade, junior.  We're all dying to see.
Before the storm, it was always so calm

    DUDE you really need to get a life.  As if you think getting people on this board to react and drive the price down is really going to happen... SMH
$17.76 the patriots remain in control
will we see $100 this year?
we will see $10.00
 You mean we "did" see $10, before the reverse split.
 lol, we will see
Short over the weekend.  I think Monday will actually be down the whole day instead of the just the first hour.  May be entering an overdue market correction in the 10+% neighborhood, though, so the next run up might not be far away at all.
Covered before my shorts went negative, but only moved a third at open, so the remainder was less profit each time i covered more.
UVXY $23.86 +5.53% @ Friday Close! Max Pain for today’s expire was $22.00

Yeah, I'm happy -- made $3K trading ITM calls two days in a row with this.  I haven't made $6K in two days in a while.  Now, if only my four short crude oil futures would drop a buck, I'd be even happier.  Holding them till Monday, at least, maybe longer.  Enjoy your weekend!!
 You're crushing it, brother.  I don't really know anything about commodities, but I think the odds are in your favor in your crude play.
FYI....M1 futures 19.95 dips below VIX index. expiration in 4days.
Next week will be very fine
you may be right my friend...tom and jerry at it's finest.
Banked 1.5% avg before covering.  Might short this again after lunch.
Covered half at 22.41 for +1%.  Seeing where this goes with the rest.

   I just did something I haven't done in many moons -- two long UVXY trades in a row.  I figured things might be a bit more volatile as we approached the 20th anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks.  Next week I'll probably get back on the short side where I'm most comfortable with this thing.  GL!!
 Nice work.  I've been doing well just shorting overnight and covering early, but I think you've been making the better percentage.
Didn't want to let my shorts fall negative, so cleared out.  Sadly I'd only moved about a third of my position, so averaged about +1%.  I'll take a look around close to see where we're at.
Guess I'll try again over night to short. Small position
wow ! elaborate ways to break even strikes again , there's no way you can nake profits by your methods , a singke nove agianst you woukd wuoe out months of efforts , you might havw found a true hedge and reduced the market to 0 risk , but that means nothing unless your managing billions , break even on what you have , is just silly , why expose your assets to the market , if your just one move away from loosing 15%
 Yo, got stopped out again and covered after banking 1.5% to once AGAIN this week keep my long term account growing while the market falls.  You ever get tired of being wrong, kid.
What was the top of uvxy in March 2020?
Look at the chart
It's the chart divided by 10.  This has gone through a 10 to 1 reverse split since then.
does anyone know what makes this move? I noticed the VIX is moving more today.
I was thinking contago?
as of this post contango is 9.72%. vix futures roll yield is more important. M1 contracts expire in 5 days.
Looks like I'll be putting a short position together for overnight.
it's gonna drop tomorrow ?
Imo. This doesn't move up more than three consecutive days very often. That and today's red candle, and the 20dma makes me think it's a good time to start a short position.
i could sold at 23 breakeven after 3 weeks holding this, that was beginner's luck, plan to enter again lower
*sell
