Fixated on VIX and VXX all day as VOLATILITY reversed. 

 

Closed 3 VXX LONGS, reluctantly but I had to. 

 

Good day for NQ long & Short daytrades

 

There seems to be more caution - hedging, liquidation END OF YEAR/QUARTER/MONTH - in the markets as December 15 tariff deadline approaches and a week filled with important news before the thin holiday trading period.

Investors are terrified of something a year from now and they’re placing bets to hedge themselves

PUBLISHED MON, DEC 9 20193:43 PM EST UPDATED 13 MIN AGO

KEY POINTS

• Investors are hedging around the possibility of a very negative event a year from now, and it could be they are worried about an “election apocalypse,” according to BTIG strategist Julian Emanuel.
• He said investors are putting a premium on S&P 500 puts a year out, versus calls, and the skew is at a historical level. 
• Emanuel says there appears to be “unprecedented apprehension” on the part of investors, and “the left, the right and the center are all worried about highly unstable electoral outcomes.”

"Closed 3 VXX LONGS, reluctantly but I had to."  I did the same thing....  I will be buying them back.... A single tweet can wipe out all of your gains. 

 

Watching the weekly data closely..... Sideways to down is my guess.... Day 32 of my warning data that caused me to go flat.... a record for now.... Above average odds we BT the 50 WMA, and then we shall see how it plays out..... I said above average odds, I didn't say for sure. However, I trade the odds....

 

I always read your posts... Thanks for posting.... I track SPY and IWM, but trade VXF..... You can trade VXX at Vanguard, but no shorting..... I remain flat at Vanguard, but trading both ways in my trading accounts....  I never mix the two... Vanguard is our LT retirement account....

 

Good Trading!

Financials - Fed meeting won't be raising rates and this is what the Banks need - generally a sell signal with touch of the Keltner Channel on Friday. A move under 30 would be a near term sell signal - Most of the indexes appear to be failing here.
