    Matt, How do you interpret

    Matt, How do you interpret a close of 110.48? From the article you referenced a while back: One important note about the VVIX is that it will frequently rise into the Vomma Zone before a move lower. This happens as institutions begin to price in the potential move lower in the market as they hedge their risk into strength.

    I have taken a fair number of positions the past few days, and will head for the hills if this is suggesting corrective action.

    Yeah it's hard to say.

    Yeah it's hard to say. I've generally just used the rule where the VVIX needed to close below 110 then signal when it closes back above it. Could it also be a decent signal when the VVIX goes below 110 intra day and only closes slightly above 110 that it's a warning sign? I don't know, I have not looked back at those potential signals, it's something you could investigate in the evening etc. 

    the only other thing I've experimented with is using a 5 or 15 min VVIX chart and getting some intra day signals for day trade shorts when it goes above 110, which obviously would have worked today the last 30 min
