<<<When do VIX futures expire anyway >>> LAST TRADING DAY: The Tuesday prior to the third Friday of the expiring month cboe.com I played with VIX futures. I bought May futures in January - February. Spent most of the time under water and managed to sell for a small profit in April. Not playing any more as VIX is going to ZERO. -g/ng-

the consistent profit is on the VIX short side. its not unlike writing naked options. it works consistently, brilliantly, until that six-sigma day it doesn't work anymore. ild and I exchanged some posts on VIX some months ago. I will be closing an August short next week.
