Yesterday I posted that the vix will go up in the next week or two. I bought May 15 VXX 50C at close for 9.50. I sold this at open for 11.50. House just passed the bill so stocks should go up for Friday. We should see the vix go down a little until EOD. It might be a good opportinuty to jump in some calls on the VIX and or puts on your favorite stock. Over the...

Volatility Index (VIX) is an indicator of volatility and investor sentiment. VIX shows market expectations for the short-term volatility of the S&P 500 index. We look at the long-term chart, then you will see in 2008 the index was around 70  Now we can see 54 for 2 months Last time the crisis was launched within two months - the mortgage crisis of 2007-2008 Now...

A Vix swing, which did not require "majority" or "consensus", rolled forward under the noses of retail and even some of the larger macro hands. It advanced incredibly far reaching a high of 84.8 ... Don't be a dick for a tick !!! Finally there is an opportunity to clear all targets in the breakthrough. As an example of this, let us turn to the well-know chart VIX...

The virus itself is not harmful despite the death toll, it is more the quarantined cities and even countries that could cause damage. The investors are afraid that the slowdown on the China economy and now spreading to Italy and even the USA may trigger a domino effect on the whole ecosystem, mainly built on dept. The VIX index is alarming as explained on chart If...

So I should have posted my play beforehand but it worked well so I am pleased. I am going to summarize what it was and then move on to explain phase 2. My play. It was obvious to me that vix was consolidating for a move up. I was waiting for breakout around 18 before buying. The pop to 25 was massive and i bought then with the target of 47. It worked like charm...

While there has been some pullback in the ^VIX. The upward trend is still intact. I suspect another increase coming within the next week or two.

years ago and clearly shows the rising VIX base that led to the crash in 2008 was also happening in 2018 and 2019. QE 1,2&3 helped to pull the market out of the 2008 crash. It appears that unlimited QE announced today could do the same for the crash in 2020.

Level of volatility was at the highest level since 2008 on Monday. This coincide with the fastest 20% decline in the market history. Where the market has never seen this level of volatility and speed of decline since the Great Financial Crisis. Despite this extreme move, some might speculate that the market will bottom soon evident with the peak caused by the...

$VIX - Have a look at the daily candle. What does it tell you ? Bullish ? In case you get the wrong idea about the VIX, it moves inversely to equities

Slimsy

While maybe just a coincidence it would reinforce my bearish view on equities. Option traders always informed of things

So, SPX500 along with global indices are heading down. In fact, at time of writing, all indices are down 5-9% . OUCH !!!! It's a gap down, so if you missed it like I do (had to take care of the kids, back to school after a week long holiday), then watch the chart first! Sadly, despite so much has been done to prop up the economy, it seems to go the opposite way.

If you are a long term trader, Vix is expected visit the bottom. and I expect it to happen faster than it did in 2008 Thank you

The VIX closed at historic highs while the DOW managed to protect the bull market trend-line.No stability in the market until the 50 level is broken on the VIX. BE REALLY CAREFUL, RALLIES WILL LIKELY BE SOLD. BEST ADVICE IS TO RELAX AND WAIT FOR THIS EXTREME VOLATILITY TO PASS

Wallstmessiah

hmm what is this piece of overbought stuff spy historic level buy short fear

Continuation of my previous VIX idea. RSI just crossed 70 and Volumes show that Long Volatility is a crowded trade. I will open the position with the 50% of my idle cash so NOT All-in but not a small bet. I am sure traders can find better/higher prices, but i just don't want to lose this opportunity. SL @97.13, TP@19.28, Risk/Reward 2 as usual. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO...

Recently I have noticed that many CFD and spread betting providers (I wont mention which ones but they are easy to find with a quick google search) are letting users "trade" the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). I thought this was unusual as the VIX is not a purchasable asset; it is a measure of implied volatility (both long and short) on the S&P500 calculated through...
