Yeah, I just checked out the margin requirements. This is new. 200% requirements on vxx and tvix. It doesn't make sense.

i wonder if they got hurt at all on that vix spike. Their risk management department determined they had to do this but it doesn't make sense why it's the same as tvix.

They changed the tvix to 200% in the middle of last year.

On a positive note with markets down VXX is red

fidelity won't let you short tvix without being on the phone with them
Even if they tag your account with shares and put in a limit order in order to change that limit order you have to call them and can't change it online

I guess the advantage is you do at least get to often get the shares though. It never used to be that hard until this year.

I guess the advantage is you do at least get to often get the shares though. It never used to be that hard until this year. it's been a fight actually to get shares -- was like a gift to get them so that's why I'm inclined to hold onto tvix short shares VXX has been available which is good
