Look at the levels of contango for ^VIX (short-term) versus ^VXV (medium term). Go long or short accordingly.

Take a look at how long term price range is taken out above and below Bbs.
Look at how Xiv is stretching to take out 50.10
You can simply set long range trades for Spy Ung Gld. for example since there is no decay, and forget about it. Basically a full basket of. Just something to think about for college funds and retirement accounts.
Looks like Oil will eventually go to 12 bucks in this example.

Thanks shillihs. I see the point you are making on XIV but dont get how you arrive at 50.10 as resistance. maybe Im a little dense on this.

That's just its high Jan. 2015. May or may not get quite that high.
You didn't have to pull all the charts down Kevin.

9 out of 10 Vix long signals are as good as toilet paper.
May get a bounce here.

Actually that approach is what I have been using since the election, and I think I will see how it plays out as a Collective2 system - hence the removal of the system specifics. As your experience with Collective2 will confirm, you really can't be charging for stuff you post for free elsewhere.
