VIX LONG CALLS OCT $16/17: POP SOON?!

Updated
I bought 120 of these. Not cheap not for faint hearted. I do NOT recommend this strategy for investors. Pure Speculation, be warned!

You need cast-iron cajones to hold this position, been buying these all last week as it gets crushed, the $17 were ~4.90, 16S averaged at 5.30.

These got a lotta time in them, patient watch & wait for the pop. Target ~$24-26 will get there fast if ES1 sells off.
Triple witching on Friday 20th. GLTA
Note
Closed position on gap deep ITM; seek re-entry sub-$16.

Look for a bounce then re-enter IMO
Note
Went into cash Tues anything can happen Weds wait and see IMO
Note
Look to re-enter on a bounce, if we get it Weds. Do not buy weeklies, the spread is lousy and they just evaporate. Get at least Septembers, Octobers better.
Note
Re-entered in the Sep 17/Oct 18 calls, 10 each to start; and bought a covered write on UVXY for 1k shares.
The short calls on Friday strike 25.5 trading for ~5% of share price!
Trade active
Closed out the calls for +3k now up 14K this week on VIX; holding UVXY 1K bear shares
