biz do you want free money?
pic related is the CBOE VIX. It tracks volatility of the s&p 500 by using option prices.

you want free money?
long everytime it touches the pink line.

if you had been longing in this range and selling every 60% bounce since 2012 starting with $1000 you would have ~$7.5 million now.

Buying the VIX isn't a simple retail deal. You could just as easily just buy cheap put options to achieve a similar outcome.

the absolute fucking state. I'm giving you free fucking money. No wonder you fucking retards lost all your money in 2018. what happened to all the fags from 2015 and shit. they would be all over this.

heres another hint;
you cant buy the vix directly but you can buy short term futures that follow the price movements near exactly.

this is the best; Barclays VXXB

nigga are you blind? every time this shit gets near the pink line it bounces.

Why? Because below the pink line would mean near zero volatility. Since the VIX is based off of options prices, and no retard is going to sell options for zero cost, it doesnt go below that line. It always comes back to that line because in the market, when shit starts to get non-volatile almost no one buys options. because who the fuck would buy options when volatility is dead. clearly there is a huge discrepancy in the market and im handing it you on a silver fucking platter

You could always just maybe buy call options on that VXXB if it's an ETF. That would get you a nicely leveraged position

Yeah, everyone knows the relation between the VIX and the S&P. You have a cute system but look that it literally does not trade for various years, and your system has no sell signal. I'm sorry but your system is shit.

This is an interesting idea. My one concern is that VXXB has a tendency to lose money from contango in its futures positions, so it probably isn't a good idea to hold it long term. This could be problematic in years with consistently low volatility like 2017.

lol if it's that easy every hedge fund will be doing this. This does not work because you cannot buy the VIX index.

Go look at the VIX futures chart instead. What you will see is the price keeps falling as it approaches contract expiration date.
