3/24/2017 4:24:07 PM I give you and Kevin a great deal of credit for your reads today. You guys have to admit that those were binary calls that couldn't possibly have been generated by a filter or signal, unless one of you geniuses has invented a filter to consider politics in real time. In the muddle this afternoon, I started pricing out protection in case the vote happened and lost after the close, as this weekend would have been a quagmire. I certainly didn't have the guts to double down on XIV or short TVIX during that hour or so. Sometimes just sitting tight is OK too. |

3/24/2017 6:59:07 PM @Four: When did TVIX get to $44? The high for today was only $43.20. Even your own graphic shows the high was $43.17. I don't think any second position at $44 was possible. @Shilllihs - care to comment? |

3/24/2017 7:48:50 PM I was confused a little, maybe he was showing what could have been. |

3/24/2017 10:02:44 PM Well, the first post was him using his "Kevin Oops" strategy, and the second one never filled. |

3/25/2017 7:55:47 PM C1916 - You stated that the trade had to be a binary call and a filter could have not called the trade. I just happened to see the shillllihs post on SF as soon as he posted so I went to my 5 min chart and watch XIV do this. https://invst.ly/3j7my |

3/25/2017 9:57:41 PM OK...I never intended to get in the middle of the did-he/didn't-he argument. If any of you had the balls to short the TVIX or buy XIV when it looked like the bill was going to come up for a vote and fail, I give you credit, binary or not. I stick by the theory that there isn't a filter out there that can represent political black swanesque events in real time, but if there is I look forward to seeing it posted here to the benefit of all of SF. :) |
