I have been wandering around in the site for a few years so I thought I should start my own thread. I plan to use it as a diary of my market trades and thoughts, but all are welcome to add comments.

I exited my TVIX trade this AM @ 28.57. I did not get top price, But I made a 1.69 per share on the 3 day trade
 
NNuut I didn't know if anyone ever read my comments, but I always felt like I was hijacking other peoples posts and it was hard to go back and see what I was thinking because my comments were so spread out.

I have a good feeling about today for the I fund, the dollar stalled yesterday and could easily go lower. I also have a buy set for tvix if it drops to around 26

The best of luck with your trades Gup!
 
The dollar did drop throughout the day so my I fund play is working so far. The TVIX buy did not trigger today as the US markets were pretty subdued. I really was expecting a general push higher after the late day comeback yesterday.

Sounds good Gup, always glad to see what others may be thinking... May be time to move into the I fund, will the strength continue or is it too tied to the value of the dollar?
 
In my opinion: the dollar has a little ways to fall. Most of the I fund gains going forward are dependent on a declining dollar. That said, I am not sure I would buy here. I messed up by exiting the market while I was on vacation and missed out on a 3% move so I bought back in during the little pullback last week. If I could get back in (If I had more IFT's) I would probably be looking for an exit about now, But since I will be out for the month I will try not to cut and run just yet

I hope your right on the I fund....I'm all in. IMO the two IFT rule puts us at a disadvantage. You hit the nail in the head with an early exit point and then miss out on the rest of the month. They need to change that rule.
 
The 2 IFT rule make it allot harder because it forces you to wait to long to buy and wait too long to sell. At least in my case ;)

The dollar has run as low as I thought it would, but seems to be accelerating to the downside. Not sure if I made the right call going 50% G
 
60G 40I gravitating toward capital preservation. Had I known the I fund was going to return almost a full percent yesterday I would have moved more money out. I think the dollar move is reaching the lower limits short term, but I also thought there would be a significant pause at 98 (currently 97.5)
 
At the end of the day, I left 5 bucks a share on the table with tvix. (made 3.66) Lets see how the xiv trade goes. in at 67.2 after hours last night

too soon again. Not complaining about 3.66 a share, just wish I could read the market better
