VTS Tactical Volatility Strategy

Investing in volatility ETPs is very exciting and potentially very profitable.  But without a proven risk management strategy, it's just asking for trouble.  Let me explain mine.

  • Includes all idle cash held, this is total portfolio return

  • Includes all trade fees 

  • Simulated performance on a hypothetical 25,000$ account

* No leverage is ever used, but it will require options trading approval

  (lowest level should be adequate since it's just long puts and calls)

* Due to the termination of the XIV, in 2018 this strategy began using VXX put and call options instead of the ETPs as before, but the signals are all the same

Statistics from December 2010 through September 2020

* Feel free to contact me with follow up questions
