Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #3 - VX Risk On?VX has had a hard rejection off of the 21 area. It failed to breakout of its bull flag and instead fell all the way back below support around 18.40. Two massive red days in a row for VX leading into the election results and FOMC. The market is seemingly going full risk on mode heading into the elect

VIX!!!HS, the VIX is about to crash. I'm accumulating SDIX (short VIX) and buying puts of UVXY at every short term rally. SP500 heading to ATH.

VX Paths Before FOMC Looks like we'll have a pretty good setup with VX during or after FOMC. We'll probably get some volatile movements after the minutes release and then more volatility during and after Powell's speech starting 30 minutes later. VX has been getting crushed all week, back below 16 now. This will be a k

Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #5 - VX Critical Support To wrap up the ideas for this week I have to choose VX, I don't trade it directly but it will be key to determine the direction for the rest of the week. So far it has held around 18.40, which was also last week's low. In addition to the 18.40 support here we also have trendline support. First upsid

Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #4 - VX S/R Flip Big move up for VX after bouncing near 18.40. This is mostly due to some weakness in semis after leaked earnings on ASML. 19.40 will be a key area on VX moving forward. If it goes up there and fails I'd be looking for longs on ES/SPY. If it's able to break above and continue higher, I'll start looki

VX Ascending Channel VX has shown a lot of strength over the last couple of weeks which I consider to be unusual. DXY and treasury yields have also spiked recently, but the equity market remains resilient. We've been chopping for weeks and we'll likely see a big move once this range breaks. VX had a big red day today

Using VIX futures to manage equity risk over the US Election One-way traders can look at expected volatility and movement in the S&P500 over the US election volatility is by looking at the premium or the differential that VIX October futures hold over VIX November futures. Because the VIX index takes in a series of S&P500 options strikes that blend to create

Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #1 - VX Falling Wedge I posted a similar chart last week, but as I'm looking at things after today's action I still think this is the most important thing in the market right now so it's going at #1 even if I don't plan to trade it directly. I wouldn't recommend trading VIX or UVXY, maybe VX futures but that's not for me

Using VX to Spot Divergences + Intraweek Update We've had some great examples of clear VX divergences lately so I wanted to highlight that here. VX is a key component of my strategy and I don't believe it is used enough by most traders. It'll be important to monitor moving forward as we see rising volatility and global tensions. I also go over th

VX Bull Flag Retest We had another very large VX divergence this morning after VX broke out of its bull flag and soared above 19.20. However, ES remained flat and VX came all the way back. Now is the critical retest of both the bull flag and 19.20. If it doesn't hold id expect a squeeze on ES, but this is a great spot
