VIX Gain Today 💅
I’ve been talking about the vix hedge I’ve been maintaining the last couple weeks in the daily threads, and today was my second big gain in as much time. I’ve been paying to keep rolling it out a week by scalping spy with 0dte options. Given all the potential volatility catalysts this week I decided not to roll the vix play out another week and instead increase the position a little bit to see what happens today. Turns out KW is an empty suit, so I sold half of it for cash and we’ll see what happens overnight.   submitted by   /u/AdCritical5383 [link]   [comments]
