FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures are currently up again today, all the way to 80, indicating extreme volatility continuing to enter the markets. The further markets slide, the larger the increase in volatility. As mentioned yesterday, it is possible to be profitable in this market. We recommend keeping your position size small and riding the micro trends within different futures instruments. /ES has been very profitable recently, if you have the stomach for this continued volatility.
