I know you guys missed me, so here is a short mini series of threads about #volatility. Let's dive right in 😎 #OptionsTrading #trading 1- Let’s start by defining what volatility is. It’s simply how often something moves up/down and how big these moves are. If something moves up/down a lot, it means volatility = high. Something that doesn’t move that much, it means volatility = low.

[Thread] So what happened with $VXX? 🤔 Well first i want to clarify a couple things. $VXX is an ETN, not an ETF and no it doesn’t track $VIX or $SPX or $SPY. And no you can’t do technical analysis on it. With that out of the way, let’s start 😆 $VXX derives its price entirely from the first two months of the $VIX futures. Everyday a rebalancing takes place where they sell the front month and buy the back month until the cycle finishes and the whole process starts over.
