3 more long signals tonight (Long 6, 8 and 10), for a total of 6 long signals. I split my pot for this into 5 so I will just go long on 2 more blocks.

@ Matt
You must be using SS as your signals - correct?

Yes, that is correct. I signed up for the service just so I can run this system (for now). I am pretty busy learning easylanguage mainly for Tradestation strategies so I don't have any spare time to explore SS too much. So far this system has been profitable so I am using real money on it. I have decided to put more money into this system so I can go ahead and buy all 3 of the extra blocks.

There is yet another new ^VIX Long signal triggered tonight - that makes 7 open long trades effective tomorrow at the open. All open long trades are currently profitable, although some just barely.
I am long 1000 shares of TVIX and will add to this tomorrow.

3 new signals to close out Long trades (all entered on 12/7, yesterday). These were opened at 11.59 and are at 12.64 right now (up 9%).
The problem is that the ETFs typically used to trade these (e.g., TVIX, VXX) are NOT up nearly as much over the same time period due to how close we are to options expiration and the current levels of contango. This is a real challenge in trading volatility - nothing truly tracks the index like SPX and SPY. Keep this in mind.

@Kevin, I am kind of new... " (all entered on 12/7, yesterday). These were opened at 11.59 and are at 12.64 right now (up 9%). ", What instrument do you use? TVIX range were between 11.5-9.5 for the last 5 days. Where do you see that 12.64?

TVIX has basically been going down for the past 5 days.However,I've been following the "long signal" and the results of trading the SPY index or QQQ on the long side are very positive,right on the money.My opinion,TVIX is a high risk instrument,that will trade up rapidly only in conjunction with a market moving event.Most of the time it's either flat or going down.Miketranz...

TVIX support level is 9.57 right now. if you see it around 9.60 Monday, your odds are improved that you took a good position without having to wait for it to come back.

That is the closing value of the ^VIX index, not TVIX. This system uses the ^VIX index to generate the signals. This was all clearly explained in the very first post.
