Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Lucas and Luna break down the current VIX term structure—spot at 16.15, futures in backwardation, roll yield positive—and how day traders can play the basis trade into early July. They walk through the mechanics of short-dated VIX futures, the VIX-VIX futures spread, and how to position when the VIX is collapsing while small caps lag. Specific entry and exit rules for a roll-yield capture strategy, with real numbers from today's market. No fluff, just the trade.
