Thank You. We are also working on a VIX sell equity buy daily signal. We will see. Have been watching the XIV that you are using. I had heard that it trades it's own mind and doesn't follow even it's counter part. So I stay away from it.
Lana, There's been an extensive discussion of the issue you raise here: http://dontfearthebear.com/. The bottom line is that you needn't feel you must stay away from XIV.
Trading XIV during periods of contango gives you a little added bonus and peace of mind that the market can continue going down while not necessarily taking down the price of XIV.
Trading XIV rather than TNA during contango periods, then turning around and using VXX rather than TZA during backwardation sounds like a solid strategy. Not sure how to test that, but it sounds good. Know of a way to identify past contango/backwardation periods?
JTS is definitely holding this long position. I think CCI is going to try to short this... I'll brb with the official word, but I think the Comp is heading to the sidelines.
VIX pierces up through the upper BB then drops back down. That's the VIX buy equities signal I've always heard. And I believe it happened on the 25th. Unless Lana is using a different BB setting?
Thanks! Did you add to your TNA position at all today by chance?

ReplyDeletePS - Thank you Mario Draghi! :)
DeleteI agree, J.
ReplyDeleteBTW, have you thought about seeing how XIV would have performed using your systems? I know, I know, all you need is more homework. Still . . .

DeleteIt might. Thanks!
DeleteWow, what a great site! Thanks again.
Deletenot looking really bullish after the gap up today especially iwm, J, is the JTS still looking for a sell signal?

ReplyDeleteOut XIV @ 12.26. (In @ at 11.15)
ReplyDeleteI have sort of an unwritten rule... when a stock goes up 10% from my entry within a few days...take profits! :)
Watching XIV today certainly was not as volatile as TNA or Upro. Really interested in this vehicle using your system. Monday will switch over. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWe have a Vix buy equity signal today.
Lana, What's a Vix buy equity signal?
