KEEPING IT COOL!!! VIX SWING TRADE OPPORTUNITY (6 WEEK HORIZON)

Short
nikvo1990 Updated   
CBOE:VIX   Volatility S&P 500 Index
Pure technically we have seen the weekly VIX candle breach the Bollinger Band 6 times in the last 11 years with a syringe like pattern (more than 70% upside). In my opinion this pattern happens when people are in panic mode. 5 out of 6 times VIX dropped significantly within 6 weeks. The exception (rectangle shape) is the 2008 crisis. My SL will be set at the top of the syringe 62.37 (approx -25%). With a Risk/reward 1:2 my TP is 23.76 (approx +50%).
IMPORTANT NOTE: PAST REWARDS DO NOT ALWAYS REFLECT THE FUTURE and because this may be more like a 2008 style pattern. DO NOT INVEST more than 20% of your free cash and be ready for a martingale ( set an alert and double down in the next huge spike)
Trade closed: stop reached:
SL reached @62.37
Comment:
Opening a new position (martingale) with the all time high as SL (96.70) and 1.5-2x times the invested capital from the first trade.
NOTE: This trade will not take more than 50% of my idle cash. DO NOT open this position on Margin.
