Short Put Spread in VIX; Nov16, -1 16 Put, +1 14 Put

VIX is up 20.25% today and my ITM Put spread is now OTM and it is up 20.18% today

Close to being 1:1. I'll keep working on this when time permits. On the next signal I may sell a closer dated spread since the average hold is 10 days. I don't know that it will matter. What this points to as a thesis is the spread is as predicted a delta play. Yes there is a little boost from theta, but not a lot. I wanna see if a shorter date options theta can offset some b/a spread slippage.

Yes this is one data point. So no absolute.

Personally, I will probably only take the equivalent of three or four units shorting ^VIX today, just to keep some dry powder on hand just in case. I have a few other ^VIX-related multi-signal systems like this and every one of them has made multiple short sell signals and signaled to close all open long positions.

Kevin, Thanks again for all your hard work. So far my first 5 trades have resulted in 11.2%, 4.6%, -1.8%, 8.9%, and -1.7%. These percentages are net (after commissions), and using UVXY as a surrogate. Shorted today using SVXY.

Something to look at here is, when you get a signal, skip a day and go all in the next day with Xiv/Tvix.
If filters are hitting 90%, confirmation of additional filters don't matter.
Seems to work better as today may show.

Ok, my findings.

If short signal, skipping first day and go long Xiv would have made up an extra 18%
For long signal, simply go long Tvix the first day.

Must go all in on first day signal and ignore other signals. But since you may have a long and a short
simultaneously, go 50% in.

I'll stick with my unit-based strategy, but thanks for sharing a tweak from which others might benefit. Still not 100% sure about moving to TVIX instead of VXX since neither of them seem to really track the VIX as well as I would like, but there really is no reason for me not to take the 2x when it is available.
