  • Comment from Folfox - Do you prefer iron condor vs. iron butterfly? (I know 1 strategy wont work every time, but what scenario is preferred)
  • Question from ThinkTankTrading - I have a question regarding funds like vxx and this quote from its prospectus...In connection with these limits, the Dodd-Frank Act has required the CFTC to adopt regulations establishing speculative position limits applicable to regulated futures and OTC derivatives and impose aggregate speculative position limits across regulated U.S. futures, OTC positions and certain futures contracts traded on non-U.S. exchanges. In December 2016, the CFTC re-proposed rules on position limits with respect to the 25 physical delivery commodity futures and options contracts, as well...What happens with cheap low Vol prices and this position limit, and they can't get the Vol exposure needed to track the benchmark? ...Positive or inverse ETFs?...One will have massive margin lending/ borrowing costs and the other won't be allowed to buy more futures at some point...The second that happens the Nav will be out of wack and become a closed end fund with Arb to Nav opportunities aka the death spiral - would you agree? Or am I missing something - thanks in advance...Asking for a friend hahahah kidding.
