I wouldnt normally post an article here but it is related to the vix conversation. If you are able to follow everything in it, I imagine it could help with day to day/more than daily vix trading. It has given me a mild form of brain damage, so Im not sure I understand it. by the way, if you are a seeking alpha member, the authors are always responsive to questions.

Pullback in XIV represents a buying opportunity. Looking for $59 as my entry (missed it once already this morning).
UPDATE: in for another 2000 shares of XIV at $59. Will be watching this like a hawk.

I guess XIV has some room to fall. There will be better buying opportunity.

If Xiv decides this is the time, can drop to 45-46.

i think trump controversy is just starting. markets like consistency, flow, expectations meeting expectations...trump prides himself on doing the opposite. volatility will increase further..I hope. I think XIV will be at least a buy at $55 as opposed to where it is now. we havent really had a January effect until now.

Well, I go solely by the contango levels for trading these volatility ETFs. Currently VIX contango is 10.42% right now, so unless it drops to 5% or below I will stay in, and add to my position on pullbacks like we are having this morning. The drop today may be the start of something larger, or it might be a simple knee jerk reaction to Trump's weekend antics. I've been in this trade since 11/22 so unless it drops to below my cost basis I'm okay with my strategy. I see this as a buying opportunity, but with increased caution and watchfulness for exactly the reasons you listed.
