one more extreme vix spike?

thanks for the insight.  Maybe gold etfs are just the best play

Treasures finally starting to come down but VIX above 50 is not helping.  Its my main indicator now

what is keeping the gold miners down? the Virus?

Anyone taking a piece of JNUG on this dip?

Tax Relief Tuesday

SQQQ looks like a nice trade with all of the Italy news hitting twitter.  I'll have to be patient today, anything could happen

i needed it to head south for me last week and that backfired

Through all of this, Coffee has been one of the more stable and resilient commodities.  I'm taking a mental note of this as a potential safe haven play for future flash crash scenarios.

That would be potentially one for the record books, maybe futures traders will tire of selling and we can open close the closing price and start a base.  

I agree it seems like every thing the media and US gov are doing is counter productive and just causing more panic

nice bounce off support for SPY

I'm only trading futures for now, can't handle the volatility of options. And the premiums

i'll probably regret it but I sold most of it today.  I'll probably wait till tomorrow and but further out dates or just pay TD to trade on the ICE exchange

is anyone long Crude now?

Good morning COFFEE, still holding some JO 40$ march 20 calls.  might actually make it there

Sugar has been doing well and cocoa has had a heck of a run too.  I’m not a member of the ICE trading market though. 

What are the odds and the irony that some ppl are getting margin called on their safe haven plays today?  I won’t soon forget this week.  Very eye opening to see markets behave in pandemic panic mode.  Dec 2018 was a bit less concerning and 2008 was obviously initially not predicted to be as bad but this is a whole other thing.  I simultaneously have the feeling we could be back to bull mode in no time and also the feeling we drain out sideways while people gather themselves.  But I’m staying cautious and taking smaller trades

i like gold too but will wait till next week before piling in to all the precious metals

just took some SLV april 16$ calls on a whim.  volume has spike as well
