Also jumped in on 1000 shares of VXX @ $36.14 based on another set of VIX filters I have developed. These typically trade at 90% win rates but it takes several weeks on average to close out the trades.
Out at $37.26 for a gain of $1111 after commissions. I entered a new position in XIV at 12:12 PM (1000 shares at $36.00). This is based on a set of long-short filters for the ^VIX. Positions usually are held for a few weeks but I might opt to take profit before then.

Long FCX 1000 shares @ $11.00. This is a Pangolin Z selection. I also bought into another Pangolin Z selection this morning (NEM, long 200 shares at $39.80, out later this morning at $41.20).
Nice day so far, except for that pesky GOGO short ...

Or it can hurt you. These are not really scalps - Pangolin Z typically trades over 7-8 days so they are swing trades for a few percent. If it comes early I will take it, though.
Jumped out of VXX too soon, but that was the signal. Interestingly, the VIX system I am using will have quite frequently have you holding differing amounts of both VXX and XIV, trading each separately. Both the long and short filters are highly profitable against the VIX, but it is hard to find an ETF that actually tracks the VIX accurately over short periods of a month or less.

Thanks - even a blind pig can occasionally find a truffle. Still learning as I go.
