Make Mine a Double

Top, that is.  See the S&P chart below (courtesy of stockcharts.com) for a nicely formed double top at 1,375ish.

The Nasdaq Composite has a similar looking double top formation on its chart.  The Russell could not make it back to its early July high and is instead setting up what appears to be a bear flag.  Perhaps my patience in waiting out my short $RUT / long vol trade is about to pay off?

    Hmm…my apologies for chart not showing up in the post. It’s there when I preview the post but then disappears when I submit the post.

      Ok, finally got the chart to show up. Seems that chart inserts work only if at the top or bottom of a post.

  2. More to the point – I don’t see a double top on the S&P. We just bested early July high and looks like some decent support at 1360. Maybe try posting your images again, would be good to see your angle.

    TVIX represents 2% of my capital at cost basis ($7.62). While the position is down 55% the hit to the portfolio is a little more than 1%. I have since switched to UVXY which is 4% of my capital at cost basis ($10.42). I will be holding both until the next big move up in volatility and will likely add more UVXY in small increments in the meantime.
