VIX FALLING WEDGE: Ready to Blast off?!?

Long
TVC:VIX   Volatility S&P 500 Index
Been accumulating September calls. Into 100 now, 17s, 18s. Falling Wedge. Trade at ur own risk, GLTA!
Trade active:
Added Sep 22 $17 calls. These odd-weeky contracts have wide spreads, always try to enter at mid-spread, close a dime above bid using limits, never market orders.
Trade active:
Added a few now holding 100 VIX Calls, September strikes. They got cheap, futures are crushed.
Comment:
These are not for the faint of heart; my drawdown over 2 days is $2K. A pop would be enormously gratifying, huge leverage. IF it fails, these get crushed.
Trade active:
Closed the September contracts on early lift ITM, leg into Octobers, do not hold short-term contracts over weekend!
Trade active:
Re-entered in Oct $18s for $4.90 on the weak retracement rally. Might creep higher again...
Trade active:
Went ITM again and closed. Holding nothing overnight! Re-enter at favorable price.
Trade active:
Buying Oct $17 calls. They are EXPENSIVE; the $17 call is asking $4.90, the $17 put is asking only .80c, 50c in the money!! Where do they think it's going...!
Trade active:
Added now in 20 Oct $17 calls.
Trade active:
Doubled down and added September $16 strikes. 100 calls now
Trade active:
Flipped my calls on early weakness and re-entered in 50 calls EOD. $17 Oct strikes.
Trade active:
Squeeze always hardest just before it pops. Adding and re-entering into Oct $16 strikes as they fall OTM.
Comment:
Loaded up on 100 October calls, 16s, 17s, holding 18s
