I think that's probably the way to play these instruments...

[nick2412] 03/8/2023 09:17

Also took profits but it's an interesting instrument if approached cautiously as inevitably there are contradictory indicators and diverse commentary - for example.



"S&P 500 stocks are trading above their 200-day moving average, and broadening participation in the 2023 stock market rally is an indicator the bull market rally could have legs.:

“August is a historically volatile month for the stock market, as many market participants are on vacation. August’s volatility could be extra elevated if we see hotter-than-expected inflation readings in August, given the rise in gasoline and commodity prices over the past few weeks,” Landsberg says."

Banked a 22% profit - probably way too soon, but you never know with this product.

See where it goes.

[mister md] 02/8/2023 09:06

VIx already above 16 - interesting.

[mister md] 01/8/2023 17:34

Bought some today - total gamble though.

[nick2412] 01/8/2023 16:15

Been watching for a while and reading up (not that gives any guarantees) but the consensus seems to be it's a decent entry point so took a position earlier today.

Seems to have come back to life, I'm hearing rumours that China might be about to go pear shaped... Might get back in here?

[waterloo01] 27/7/2023 18:20

Decent turn in VIX. I added yesterday.

[zcaprd7] 24/7/2023 12:50

Cheers, still holding...

Nice trade on triple wheat

[zcaprd7] 18/7/2023 11:23

Sod this, it's broken, gone back into triple wheat.Still think short dax is the way to go as well...

[mister md] 17/7/2023 11:33

Hmm, as usual 3ULS would have worked better so far - seems VILX needs bigger S&P Fut point drops to bounce, even though VIX itself is up 4.5%.

[mister md] 14/7/2023 15:40

Ok have followed your advice and bought a few here,lol - will not hold for too long though.

[mick1909] 12/7/2023 14:55

I mean 4500

[mick1909] 12/7/2023 14:54

Might be worth a punt if s and p gets to 4400

[mister md] 12/7/2023 13:57

Lowest since 2021

[waterloo01] 06/7/2023 19:14

marched up and probably back down again in short order

[wadget] 06/7/2023 15:51

Nice timing Waterloo ! VILX +26% but I'm not in, bah !

[zcaprd7] 06/7/2023 09:23

Finally some life...

[waterloo01] 05/7/2023 12:17

one more 'tilt' at vilx at 5.8p

[mister md] 09/6/2023 07:45

Yes from current Vix level there should be a decent move, but as you say probably best to jump in when it starts the move. Better than expected inflation numbers could send market higher, it seems to be 'climbing the wall of worry' still.

[mick1909] 08/6/2023 18:24

Tech bubble frothing it up but how much more can it go up is anyones guess hard to time this better to watch it pop then jump in could still make a decent profit the experts saying recession q4 this year

[mister md] 08/6/2023 17:12

Taken a loss on this.

S&P seems to want to go up up up
