short 13k tvix right now
tvix 4.56 in pre
Have to be careful going forward shorting SCAMs. IMO They are still showing signs of strength with rising ES.
Keeping it to quick scalps going forward and leaving lots of dry powder. AND WILL BE TAKING FULL PROFITS ON SCALPS WHEN TARGET GETS HIT

Looking back -- On a positive note - I started shorting TVIX very, very aggressively way back at that blue arrow on chart below. That was the premarket morning after the elections. Chris, we've played this stellar bull run beautifully my friend! We've even played this skyrocketing channel in S&P beautifully when you think about it! We've gone along with the herd mentality and played it beautifully and we didn't take a hard contrarian stance and fight against it. But I think you'd agree that the environment has gotten a little more tougher to trade. It is difficult as a chartist lately to make short term calls in S&P. This rising channel is very steep and cannot be sustained forever and will have to break eventually. It is even more difficult to trade the SCAMs when they are not trading as we would say 'normal'. So with that I will keep it small until the easy trade returns. Quick scalps during the day only for me. just my 2 cents BTW - now that I've said that, I'm sure VXX will be making new all time lows once again! lol They have amazed me before and at times I have stood back in AWE of them!! lmao screen shots

Have a 4k short VXX order in with Scottrade at 17.85. Very soon, I'm going to move it all over to IB.
I was surprised also that Scottrade only had VXX to short just within the past 20 mins or so.

Chris, just curious, have you manually calculated the daily drop rate for VXX, TVIX for today? No I haven't just lately but I am guessing about .06 right now. Got a little busy with work, in fact I need to drive down there today so I hesitate to sell any VXX There is some pent up stress in the scams by now I think, they should drop sometime soon if the market doesn't drop suddenly.

If they do decide to hit the sell button on S&P, SCAMs will fly to the upside. IMO They are very sensitive right now and definitely not the usual grind lower. But I still see S&P solidly in that steep rising channel. It may take an overnight surprise move down in S&P futures to take us out of it. But I hope you are right and SCAMs do take another leg lower.

That implied daily drop is probably closer to .07 right now.

That implied daily drop is probably closer to .07 right now. So that's for VXX and for TVIX 14 cents? can't be 14 cents for TVIX

LasVegas, if your watching, feel free to post a chart. We use postimage.org to upload and then copy the hotlink. Also, take a look over at the 'VIX, VIX ETPs and More' thread. Lot of good info there.

I may not go to quarry after all. But not sure about these scams anyway... The moment we lose confidence is when it drops $1.5 every time so there you go haha

Rob, do you think a red candle is coming up next on the 15 minute ES? Keep some powder dry

Rob, do you think a red candle is coming up next on the 15 minute ES? Keep some powder dry 15 minute ES is trying to make a doji and can confirm with red candle. still time. It's also on hourly. Has to put in a close below the entire candle to confirm (ES 2364.50) I'm sure the morning gap up will get filled in S&P. I agree about keeping powder dry. VXX had no reason to pop at all just now and should be red. Definitely keep it real small and wait possibly for higher prices to short SCAMs. IMO But I'm sure VIX SCAMs at some point will also fill the morning gap up as well. Might be a quick flash red though. We'll see... VXX 17.91 VXX 17.88
