 Yep.  It's too easy to cheat.
 Not a problem in the futures market.

  Still waiting on XIV...and nothing looks pretty as of now.
 
 SPY rejection at the close (199.44) is pretty bad IMO....we'll see

  VIX first contract expiration today. Which means that XIV has a lot of over-priced 2nd month futures, that it will start dumping tomorrow.

  Got in XIV. I agree that they have some room to run.
 
 Sometimes I wish I had some swing-trade rules for holding it for 2-3 days for consistent 2-3%...
