Yea the vix and xiv are crap IMHO.. i've seen the VIX fut rip 2 handles and VIX is flat or red... also a ton of decay the way the options are structured. Its pretty bad really.
++++++++++++
Until I can get a decent handle on futures trading, I'll stick with VXX and XIV, but I would like to move to something that truly reflects (and reacts) like the index.

Yes I think it is very hard for an individual to set up a real profitable system to trade the futures. The alogos will kill you. By system trade I mean if A+B+C=D then take the trade everytime and then back test that, so you get some kind of win loss and probability. Which has value but only as a signal not a robotic trade trigger.

$17.40 is a major support line, good for an oversold bounce.

@JP: Long. This is the signal I got last night. The VIX system enters trades at the open, but I am willing to wait for a better entry, and in this case I got it. This trade will be held for a few days to weeks so I need to remind myself to be patient.

Nice recovery from this morning's lows. I am targeting an exit from XIV at $38.00 if it hits today.

So, $1280 /GC = Approx $15 NUGT/JNUG
*********************
Mercy! That thing is gonna go to $15 TODAY!!
=======================
JNUG low today = $15.20
Made an EZ $2K.
Always helps to have a target price.

My bets are on Trump & gold!
