VIX trade ideas

Using $VIX to measure Volatility in $SPY I'm sure many of you already know TVC:VIX (Volatility Index of the S&P 500) correlates to AMEX:SPY (the S&P 500 micro index). For those who don't and those who do, this is my up to date VIX chart. Please comment what you think! But the general idea is that... When TVC:VIX goes up, AMEX:SPY goes down When TVC:VIX goes down, AMEX:SPY goes up This is just one of the many comparisons I take into account when trying to gain a sense of market structure. Never use just one indication or signal to determine a trade. I also like to look at AMEX:SPY vs TVC:DXY (US Dollar). The general idea is that... When TVC:DXY goes up, AMEX:SPY / stocks go down When TVC:DXY goes down, AMEX:SPY / stocks go up Again, its important to have multiple things indicating the SAME signal offering high conviction trade ideas. And these "ideas" should be thought of in a way of PROBABILITIES not PREDICTIONS with a predetermined set stop-loss and profit target. Pay attention to market events and released data, especially the TIME those data reports come out. I honestly look at AMEX:SPY and TVC:VIX multiple times throughout the week, I do not have them side-by-side during my active trading as they don't perfectly mirror each other on any time frame. It's meant more for a larger timeframe (1H or higher) outlook and trying to gain a broader sense of sentiment in the market. On that note.. Happy Trading !! - E TVC:VIX AMEX:SPY TVC:DXY

Time Makes Fools Of Us All...This statement is especially true if you look at the leftover Chinese food in my refridgerator. Looking to go long around 08/14 to 08/16 - it may fill that open gap below at $14.15 before it resumes it's moon journey. Eyeballing the 09/20 $14.50 to $15 calls - depending where we are at on the aforementioned days. Remember 08/16 is FOMC. Really no clear signal at the moment and I am not trusting this market right now. Just like how I do not trust eating that Kung Pow chicken in my fridge. GLTA
