VIX index up 9.36% that is fairly sharp compared to VXX. Contango is back down to 11.5 area.

Oh no, never. On IB you need to subscribe to whatever data you want. Some of it costs a little. I don't think anything you want costs anything. They are fair, they just pass their costs directly to customer. On freestockcharts I notice that the VXX quotes are real times, but the last SP-500 chart says last 15 minutes estimated. Is that normal? I don't remember seeing that yeah - it happens sometimes. Has to do with the feed from the exchange. I love freestockcharts but its definitely not perfect. Do you encounter the same with IB S&P charts?

VXX 15 min chart Adjusted some lines VXX pop to 17.16 HOD was backtest of that descending channel line At some point, it will get back above it. Just not sure of exactly when. VXX also left behind a few BREAKAWAY GAPs that need filling. Nearest one is VXX 17.94-18.08 upload an image

Ahhhh -- just heard back from fstockcharts support -- It turns out that you need to pay a little more if you want to remove that 'last 15 mins estimated' for S&P charts.
And that's probably why fstockcharts makes mistakes with candles sometimes. My S&P data isn't really true real data after all. lol
I guess I will pay more...

Wish I'd have heard all of that. I am not sure I can fault the FED or the treasury. Dollar is strong, financial assets and real estate strong. Think of how bad it looked in 2009. Love it. "If everything your doing is working why arent you shrinking the balance sheet?" LOL

BTW - if you were ever going to take a stab at going long the SCAMs a little -- today would be a good day -- for a scalp. And I might (BIG MAYBE) take a stab at it (not recommended).
And definitely not recommended for long term hold. IMO
Far better to reshort after the pop.
VXX 17.14

That $18 gap on VXX already looks a mile away. But we know how fast VXX can move up on those certain days

Trump on CNBC now
I have a feeling that markets will start off strong with him (as they have been) and then at some point turn back down hard.
And then they will blame Trump. lol
no trades

That $18 gap on VXX already looks a mile away. But we know how fast VXX can move up on those certain days If you look at VXX chart, I really don't recall anytime where the BREAKAWAY GAPs have gone this long without being filled. If you think VXX 18.08 looks a mile away -- how about the ones in 20 and 23 range?! lol At this point, its going to take a real correction or bear market to fill those. IMO At that doesn't mean that VXX can't go lower in the meantime.

If I was short the VIX SCAMs today -- I'd be pissed. lol
S&P UP 4 as I type, contango at 11% and SCAMs are UP?!?!
But you can look at like its a sign of negative (bearish) diverence
Even VIX is up today

See how VXX isn't biting yet on this little SP-500 jump? Imagine if the market starts to sell?! That's why I said today would be good chance as any to go long the scams for a scalp. But they swing wildly and can drop back hard at any point. Far better and easier money to reshort after pop is done. Just a question of when the pop will be over. lol

I've watched VXX long enough that I expected this pattern, I don't exactly understand it but I can predict it.
