VIX FUT Spread
-$8.93
$400.80
$470.80
$1,070.80
TOT $1,933.47
PS the first 3 trades were done with the legs filled separately : this way you can expect a loss of 0.05 per leg in slippage, which amounts to 200$ loss per round turn / 1 unit. I changed after , when I found that IB was offering, on the TWS platform, the futures spreads

Also, I still have the feeling that, when VIX goes in sustained backwardation, this system should not be used ( according to some of you, guys, this situation appears in only 20% of the time, so , why not be out , in cash?)

-So, first 13 trades, real time, commissions included.( 1 loss: -8$, only)
-3 methods, 1 unit only, each, in the testing period
- the least reproducible one is the ES options spreads, which were composed according to the Gout du Jour ( Taste of the day?), given that ES futures options have different ways of being done when bullish vs bearish
- VIX Futures F1-F2 should be done ONLY as SPREADS, otherwise, you'll lose on the slippage if the legs are filled separately
- ES futures are the simplest but the most dangerous( see the lock down limit 5% for 15 minutes on the election evening, when you felt quite stressed about having an unknown drawdown when the markets re-open?
PS Sorry, my table was much larger and clearer, originally, but the post changed it. I left only the totals.

pthomas, it looks like you might , already , be late to the party, with TVIX : the market seems to dump Trump at the open on Sunday eve.
