I Warned Everyone!

I did my first High Conviction Day for Little John. Traders were not disappointed to make such FAST money. I’m shutting down access to Little John in just a few days. Don’t miss out.

Hey traders,


This is WHY YOU READ Vix Edge Everyday!

We warned you the light was green on Monday when we wrote our last VIX edge. (as a reminder when the light is green the VIX is looking to go up nasty)

If you were not clear how we got from yellow to green in the VIX traffic light let me show you visually today.

When it comes to term structure,  this is a yellow looks like in the VIX futures:

Notice above that while the curve is backward, the VIX cash index, the green horizontal dot,  is trading at a discount( is below the blue line on the left of the picture) to the future.
Now below we can see this is a CLEAR green light from Monday:

Notice the VIX is trading at a premium to the futures curve, ie the VIX green line is above the blue line.
This is a clear GREEN LIGHT,  especially given that the curve is backward ALL the way to next July, ie. no where in the blue line does it kink up.

We began building hedges on Monday and putting on more at the open Tuesday.

We sent go long volatility trades to Sharp BETS,  Volatility Edge, and even Little John.

Our customers were VERY happy at the close yesterday.

The VIX light is Green,  meaning volatility is more likely to go up than down.

Your Only Option,

Mark Sebastian

P.S. – Yesterday I did one of my bonuses that Little John owners get – a “High Conviction Day.” The market tanked and the action was high so I got on live with everyone and we killed with a live win in just 12 minutes of trading Little John options.
