The strategy
The strategy is Vega positive to take advantage of increased IV during a VIX spike, but not give up any profit potential during an IV decline/vol crush
Portfolio size:The model portfolio is based on a 10K account. When trading VIX, the strategy is very scalable with excellent liquidity

Why We Are Different?
We emphasize options education in a dedicated forum where the strategy is discussed in great details.
We place all trades in our own account and returns are based in real fills, not hypothetical performance.
We control risk by position sizing and would typically utilize only 80% of the portfolio.
Please note that we report returns on the whole account (not return on margin).
