VXX target getting hit this morning and should during regular session. At some point today, I would expect VXX to at least hit HOD of 18.08 (old all time low) to close the Breakaway Gap.  post a picture |

Watching S&P Futures Daily Chart S&P Futures could reach up to that rising resistance on daily chart -- ignore all the small clutter of lines from smaller timeframes But if S&P keeps screaming higher and doesn't pullback and put in some backtests, that would not be good and would be cause for concern. Blow off tops are formed when everyone rushes in and long term established resistances are blown through to the upside because everyone wants in. Same thing happens at bottoms, long term supports are blown out because everyone wants out. Volume very important to watch in these scenarios. We need the S&P to maintain established support / resistances. As of now, I see no cause for concern and expect S&P to pullback and put in some backtesting.  upload foto |

I'm hoping that I have my IB account up and running by later today -- still pending submitted paperwork from Friday.
Also, tomorrow, I have some personal commitments in afternoon. So will be light day tomorrow.
So far, I made no trades today.
I didn't hold over weekend. I took profit on VXX short on Friday in AH.
I'm doing good. I'm up another 9k for this month so far.
I'm not able to short TVIX with Scottrade while TVIX is under $5.
With IB, I hear that you can trade from 4am EST instead of 6am EST unlike Scottrade.
And with IB, will be able to short TVIX.
I want my....I want my...
I want my short TVIX

We should be able to do it again this week Awesome Walnut! Nice pay day! Can't wait to have my IB account up and running. I'll also feel more comfortable with leaving on short scam position on overnight and can put in that conditional order to hedge like you do. IB definitely far more powerful platform than Scottrade. We definitely need more runs in SCAMs like we just had. I wish others on the board were trading in synch with us.  |

IB just feels rock solid to me, I would not leave them. The java platform feels like a hardwired connection, I have never seen it go offline even once in several years.

I use "Classic TWS" layout. I have customized things at times but mainly I just use the main screen as they designed it, with my own tab for VIX stuff. I did create a "virtual security" with it's own local ticker called "contango" which does just that, keeps track of contango. I used to use the "option trader" window a lot but I guess I have mostly quit options. There is so much stuff available in TWS but you really have to click around and play with it to know everything it has.

You can configure the columns of different types of data that you see on different windows. You really need to play with it quite a bit and you will get the hang of it. There is lots of data available

BTW - for VIX SCAMs -- looking at VXX chart, I really don't see much from stopping them from continuing lower in short term.
When I woke up this morning, I already saw VXX below 18 and hitting that green arrow target. I'm looking to scalp reshorting them above VXX 18.08. It should fill that gap today, if not, then in next few days.
And at some point, VXX has to reach back up and fill those upside BREAKAWAY GAPs it left behind. But I honestly don't see it happening now UNLESS S&P sees some real serious selling. Maybe a strong overnight move.
Just need to be mindful of the GAPs -- but GAPs won't stop me from scalping shorting SCAMs during the day / short term.
