We’ve officially re-entered normal VIX “contango” and all is right in the trading world again. For those of you who just read that and thought “wtf is contango,” watch this.
It’s a short explainer video from Andrew on the VIX Curve, which we use daily to inform our trading. It makes us better, smarter traders. If you’re not using it, you should start.
Here was the VIX curve before the election (I wrote to you about this earlier this week):
Which I refer to fondly as a “hockey stick curve,” but is more traditionally known as “Backwardation” (boring).
And here’s the VIX curve now…
…in contango.
If you’re new to this, the two main takeaways from this chart are:
- The VIX futures (yellow line) is now ABOVE current VIX price (green line) instead of below
- The VIX price (green line) has dropped to around 16, whereas before the Election it was 22+
We believe that in the next few weeks VIX could go even lower, to 14 or so (it’s down a whole point as I write this).
Since we knew this would happen (I wrote a full Option Pit Research about this a few days ago which you can read here that foreshadows the move), we traded it!
Here’s what the Option Pit slack channel on our paid product profits looked like yesterday:
Now, if you weren’t a beneficiary of this profittaking yesterday, three things.
Number one – you don’t have to be actively watching markets and trading nonstop all day to hit these gains.
That Delta Strike UVXY 100% winner? That was put on back a few months ago, and hasn’t been touched since the original position until we cashed in yesterday. And that’s just one example.
Number two – if you think “Well, that’s Mark and Andrew closing trades, that’s not me, I couldn’t do that.”
Here are members JUST LIKE YOU taking profits yesterday:
The ONLY reason this wasn’t you – and if it was you and one of these users IS you, Congratulations are certainly in order – well done…
But the only reason this wasn’t you is because you haven’t taken a chance on yourself to do this.
And I get that. It can seem hard – it can seem scary – but I’m here to tell you, and our members are here to show you – that it’s not. That you CAN do this, and that every single day there is opportunity to do this here at Option Pit with our professionally trained team of traders.
I’m pretty good at my job – I could work a lot of places.
I’ve chosen to work HERE because – to be totally honest with you – I WANT to be a part of learning from Andrew, Mark, Licia, Frank and Hans – and that includes, yes, executing and profiting from the trade strategies and opportunities they locate constantly in the markets.
So…
Number three – the names of the trading services that cashed in yesterday – that capitalized on this VIX Curve flip are:
- Capitol Gains
- Delta Strike
- Trading Desk
- Weekly Profit Cycles
- Option Pit Professional
Today and tomorrow (Nov 7th & 8th) we’re going to offer a special 20% off deal to join these services if you call our team at 888-872-3301.
Seriously, call them. Tell them what you’re looking for. Tell them you have no idea what you’re looking for, but you want to get started. They’re great – they’ll help you and make it easy.
If you can’t do that right now, here’s a “free” option for you.
Next Wednesday November 13th at 7pm EST, Andrew, Frank and I are hosting a Private Meeting with some of Option Pit’s traders… the Power Moves subscribers.
Now, Power Moves is a free e-mail publication sent 2X a week directly to your inbox from Frank Gregory, our DC insider. Over the last 18 months, Frank’s intel combined with Andrew’s option expertise has generated an 87% win rate on nearly 50 trades.
ESPECIALLY NOW, Post-Election… Frank’s intel has never been more integral to profiting over the next 3, 6, even 9 months and beyond as we move from President-Elect through the Inauguration.
Frank has specific moves he wants to make before Policy Initiatives and Cabinet Appointments are announced that will get you in on the GROUND FLOOR. I’m talking months before CNN, Fox, MSNBC, X or any of the news outlets cover it.
All it takes to get a Private Invite is a quick signup here for Power Moves.
Talk soon,
Hannah Selner
Director of Product Development, Option Pit
