Sold UVXY @26.02. There is definitely more potential, but this is just a random day-trade for ~2.2%.
XIV? Looking at its past tendencies, seems pretty safe to buy @38.9 and under.

I don't like to play short but if i did, i think UVXY is good for another 10%.

XIV @ 39.44 half-position; that was a good prediction 2 days ago
SPY can drop to 194 something but that should be it; will average down if so

I bailed the rest at 40.32. Was going to trade around a core but said skrew it. Was moving too wide as compared to SPY.
I have SPY 191.80 but who knows in this nutty market.

Active trading around the core is really the key w/ volatility I guess. I have been researching the topic forever, will post something big soon.
SPY @ 194 is just simple one SD wide LR; it might exceed a bit...but should be done there...
P.S. Nothing beats shorting TVIX's spikes with its decay...just gotta be patient and average down on that monster...
Yet still can't come up with any decent rules for shorting spikes...pathetic

I think i misjudged SPY AT 191.80. Hope you're right.
If you look at every gap up on an inverse leveraged ETF, you will see that it has returned back to that point at some time.
How you do this in a safe manner, i don't know. Works great with faz,tvix etc. But not so well with oil, gold, etc.

Well from what i know, you buy a moderate position & you sell in increments on the way up & buy when it dips
below original purchase price? So if market shoots up, you at least have some skin in the game.
PATIENTS IS THE TOUGHEST PART OF THIS GAME.
The way to win at this game is to think of taking a small position, & then go even smaller than that in any & many different
strategies & stock opportunities that arise!!
For instance You like ABC at 5 bucks & you want to drop $5,000. Don't do it!! Start with $500 & either wait for a substantial drop or look for your next opportunity. So basically, you have these tiny little ships that either set sail or come back for refill. May take months... Patients...
