VSTOXX Mini Futures Discussions

VSTOXX Mini 26.35 @ 11:40 AM ET
I see he was looking at that in 2016 and it didn't materialize..  could be a bit different this year..
Alan for the Nov elections you want the October VSTOXX or VIX not the November (that covers Options from mid Nov to mid Dec). In the VIX before the curve went into backwardation and before Sanders fell out of the race the October contract had been 2-2.5 higher than the Sept and Nov contract..   but these spreads are gone..  and I assume wont come back as Hillary vs. Trump also was not showing any such alterations in the curve...
For the upcoming presidential election I think it could be a good play to buy the November VSTOXX mini( FVSX6 ) in the 23.50 - 24.00 range and use the front month VSTOXX mini( FVSV6 ) to hedge against downside in volatility in the near term. Of course I dont know, or have any say in who will win the presidential race but in the coming weeks, there will be a demand for hedging which should take November volatility higher, similar to what we saw before the Brexit referendum took place but not as extreme. This could also be done using VIX futures( Not a fan of Volatility options personally ) which will give larger potential up and down side. VSTOXX mini are low margin, low leverage futures and I think is one of the safest ways to position going into the election. Anybody else using similar strategy??
