Wow, 25000 shares? That's 1.6 million at risk! That is some serious commitment. Congrats on the trade, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your vacation!

Yes - $1,612,500 in that one trade. The XIV system is pretty volatile (obviously) so I was down almost $80,000 at one point on Friday before it recovered. I was sweating it there ...
Contango is still quite high, as is the roll yield. Those two drive ETF action mostly during the last week before futures expiry, so I can still re-enter this trade (even if it is at a higher price) and make some cash if things remain as is.

@Kevin - if that represents 2% of your trading capital at risk then I'm not worthy. :)

The 2% rule usually applies to the amount you are willing to lose on a given trade, not the trade size. I intentionally do not use stop losses like that, but rather rely on strong systems with proven results and high win percentages.
