I sold and now I'm asking questions later...
flipped some UVXY from Friday after the close into the premarket this morning...
I stepped up and took the money this morning...
I see a note on UVXY I do not like, this is a heads up..
It has a notation - I'm out and not going back in until I understand this... anyone?

UVXY RED on the day...
VIX up 1/2 point
VXX still GREEN...
Looks like UVXY is getting the discount of doubt.

I lost a lot of money on UVXY , it is a weird animal, some lawyer contacted me , they said to fight for a lot of traders on UVXY, but later on, I didn't even get one cent.

Yep, just found the link...
Messing with these VIX ETFs doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about the underlying...

These instruments could do wonder, if you can wither 50+% losses. These follow regression channels > 90% of the time.
My comments are for entertainment/educational purpose only. All posted trades are fake (aka. paper) trades.

UVXY is an HOURLY TRADING INSTRUMENT... Holding it for any length of time is a DISASTER... it's only meant to be held SHORT...
Long term track record for holders is catastrophic...
After countless reverse splits...

Would recommend traders stay away from those inverse VIX instruments:
Repercussions of the Short VIX blow-off still being felt:
Chicago-based LJM suspends trading, closes fund
March 1, 2018 • Reprints
Reuters is reporting that Chicago-based commodity trading advisors and fund manager LJM Partners Ltd, is closing its doors after experiencing massive losses following the extreme sell-off in equity markets in early February.
LJM runs several different programs but their core strategy is option writing. They are generally short volatility and where so when volatility as measured by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) spiked on Feb. 5.

Yes, that's what I am thinking... the entire PRODUCT LINE is BROKEN...
So there is definitely RISK

Old news that you don't want to hold these products. Its candy and a tease, they don't call it the widow maker for nothing.
