When Josie comes home
So bad
She's the best friend we ever had
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

Shorting tvix has been the easiest thing in the world just using ema 100/200.

Take SPY. When it is above both 100-200 short tvix. When it falls between 100-200 stay out of market.
You also have the benefit of time decay with leveraged etfs.
You can also go short XIV when spy passes below both 100-200 but more risk.

You are talking about daily time-frame right?
why not use the averages on volatility? more effective on S&P ?
VXX instead of TVIX ? same thing?
Thanks.

I was just making a point that the money is right there & everyone keeps searching.
What would you do differently?
Not sure what you were referring to but tvix moves more than vxx right?

Well, that's a good point, I also found volatility etf's pretty attractive for a number of reasons.
I was just thinking, whether or not shorting them when they are below ema(100) (instead of using SPY with EMA's) would make any difference....
Although, which time-frame do you use? Daily?
I would even use UVXY (ADR(30) 0.23% higher than TVIX) if I could....I can only use VXX...

I use tvix because it only costs me 3% to short, while uvxy is 7%.
I use daily.
You don't need to use SPY at all, i just use it as a reference.
I have problems with how & why so if you're going to ask me specifics i can't answer.
I don't even know how to make anything above a simple filter. I am too lazy.
What i'm good at is extracting from the cream of the crop.
I think Kevin's SPY/VXX is slightly better at certain times while my approach works better at other times. His works like a charm so why he keeps trying other approaches & failing is beyond me.
There was a day that you would have lost 30% in a day though.
Can you plot a filter for me just using SPY/VXX with 100/200 ema similar to Kevin's SPY/VXX.
