Rolled out of XIV too soon. Given the size of the trade I did not want to get caught by surprise while on vacation, but even with the market dropping almost every day XIV continues to gain.
I now plan to wait until after the March Fed meeting and re-enter this trade at the same dollar value as long as the contango level for the VIX is above 5% and it is also above the contango level for VXV. Roll yield must also be above 5% for all primary signals to be green.
I'm sure some d-bag will try to claim credit for this strategy as well.

Wouldn't short TVIX (or rather UVXY when using IB's commission structure) be the preferred trade here?

Kevin, the quality of your ideas and contributions to SF is cemented for good. Don't sweat it.

@mankoh: three of my four accounts are long-only with Fidelity. Therefore I tend to trade long XIV rather than short TVIX or UVXY. My Interactive Brokers account lets me do either - that is the account I use to short 3x ETFs and other stocks.
I'll be keeping my eye on contango levels following the FOMC announcement next week.

XIV is still strong IMHO!
To me the 1st line of defense is price goes below ema(5)
2nd line is the ema(9)
Last line is price below ema(13)
Just saying.

SCO($38.10).....target met when CL hit hit $49. As I said many times you can't trust those camel jockey at OPEC to actually cut production.
