before you ask:
>what's the catch?

the catch is you have to be able to account for pic related, the covid crash in march. it's an extreme, and i mean EXTREMELY, rare event. once a decade like i said. rare enough that if you actually follow the news and current events, you should know this might happen well ahead of time (like the elections, their possible contention, and possible, albeit unlikely, civil war, lmao). note how the shit drops like a rock afterwards? yeah. that's volatility for you. that's how it works. it always goes down in the long run. high volatility can never be sustained, remember that. and this was an event that literally priced in the death of all humanity, the second black plague. it's important to consider the FA on this, how powerful it was at the time. it's also important to consider on the daily time frame where the VIX was at 80+ and where the SPY was, because it basically called the bottem, as i will also repeat to you fellow anons. if we get another crazy crash like that, 80+ VIX is where you want to start DCA'ing into shit for the long haul, because either that's the bottom or we're all legit dead.

i've studied and backtested this shit a lot so feel free to ask questions. im getting drunk tonight while watching election results so you may not get another chance. volatility is really interesting and it makes sense the jews don't let us trade the VIX directly because it's basically free money if you understand it. if i could i'd long VIX at around 10-20 every time but i can't. backtest for yourself if you don't believe me.
