I have also done my "massive trade" on volatility .... but so far volatility has not gone up.

Closed ES HEDGE LONG +25.5
HEDGE NQ LONG 13735.75
DEFINITELY a losing day, net weekly loss, but will try to salvage it tomorrow
Gain today, loss yesterday, but range contraction today suggests market may consolidate for a day or two before next big move
NQ HEDGE LONG 13462.5 closed + 137.25
ES HEDGE LONG 4059.5 opened

need VXX to drop a bit more to add new CALLS with LIMIT ORDER lower than current price
closing ES HEDGE LONG with minimum 30 points profit, will keep an existing NQ daytrade LONG until ES hedge is reopened lower later
Not a great week, but the end of a profitable March & Q1 2021. April started with a loss
27 SPY PUTS.
