VIX FALLING WEDGE: Ready to Blast off?!?

Been accumulating September calls. Into 100 now, 17s, 18s. Falling Wedge. Trade at ur own risk, GLTA!

تم فتح الصفقة:

Added Sep 22 $17 calls. These odd-weeky contracts have wide spreads, always try to enter at mid-spread, close a dime above bid using limits, never market orders.

تم فتح الصفقة:

Added a few now holding 100 VIX Calls, September strikes. They got cheap, futures are crushed.

تعليق:

These are not for the faint of heart; my drawdown over 2 days is $2K. A pop would be enormously gratifying, huge leverage. IF it fails, these get crushed.

Closed the September contracts on early lift ITM, leg into Octobers, do not hold short-term contracts over weekend!

Re-entered in Oct $18s for $4.90 on the weak retracement rally. Might creep higher again...

Went ITM again and closed. Holding nothing overnight! Re-enter at favorable price.

Buying Oct $17 calls. They are EXPENSIVE; the $17 call is asking $4.90, the $17 put is asking only .80c, 50c in the money!! Where do they think it's going...!
