Mist were you talking about VIX futures? yes IB has that I have traded VIX futures several times. Meant trading VXX, TVIX overnight. In past (specifically election night), missed some huge move in futures. If you recall SCAMs were up HUGE election night and going into premarket. I was lucky to get shares and was shorting TVIX in the 18s that morning. If I recall correctly. If I had a futures trading account, I wouldn't have to wait until 6am EST. Am I not correct?

I don't think so Mist, Like I said, there are really no SSF futures for those that trade over night. Only VIX futures.
ONE CHICAGO exchange closes when VXX closes. There is no benefit.

Watch those VXX support/resistance lines VXX might test that nearest upper red resistance descending channel line (closest to price action) Not the one that is really high up VXX 19.06 free photo upload

Thanks my friend But thought there used to be heavy futures trader here at FAZ. He had that avatar that looked like a deer with googly eyes and long neck. I can't remember his name.

That was poorhomey He doesn't trade anymore I don't think That's right Walnut. I remember he used to let at us look at his futures trading overnight. Thought maybe was VXX or TVIX. But looking back I think it was FAS.

Short 6000 VXX avg price 18.93 We should be fine with our trades today. Things looking good. Ducks lining up. Keep dry powder always. Just need to keep politicians off the air. lol Selling is normal selling in S&P so far. S&P could possibly (big maybe) test SP 2286-2288 area. But this trading action is great for shorting SCAMs. IMO TVIX 5.15

Watch S&P Hourly cash charts
S&P trying to put in a hammer bottoming candle
Looks like it will be red hollow with little upper wick - S&P needed to go green by 10am eST
Need to watch 2nd Hourly candle now. So far 2nd hourly S&P candle starting off red.
But selling is so controlled so far that its barely effecting the SCAMs.
VXX 18.90, TVIX 5.14

Going forward -- Just a quick disclaimer. lol I'll let you guys know what I'm thinking and what I'm doing, trading. Ultimately, we're all responsible for our own trading. And everyones risk tolerance is different. And if I can trade freely and post knowing this -- I'll actually be of better help to everyone here with pressure off my shoulders. Keep in mind no one goes 100% and I do have some bad days. Just been very fortunate (thank the Lord) that lately things have gone my way. And as my mentor Jim Roof would say -- "I'm just a guy who draws lines on charts and YOU need to draw your own conclusions!" Just need to get that off my chest. And not seeing anything to be nervous about. lol VXX 18.91, TVIX 5.14

Don't worry we all are responsible for our own decisions, I would never blame anyone but myself. But thanks for the high quality info that you provide that does help alot in making decisions.

Ducks lining up real nice for VIX SCAMs to retest all time lows. IMO
Markets stay calm like this and we should get it.

Thanks my friend. Means a bunch coming from someone like you who I have a tremendous amount of respect for. And BTW -- I didn't mean that for you. I know you very well by now. There's probably a silent following here that are a little shy to sign up or post. They've been following me over at YMB and a few have asked for the website.
