Update to my $20,000 VIX short; I've added some additional positions and now sitting at a total amount of about $30,200 in VIX Puts, about 2/3 in an April expiration, and 1/3 in a late March expiration. Currently sitting down around ~$11,300, but have made up more than those losses in profits from SPY calls this week.
About 2/3 of the position were entered when VIX was ~21.5. The remaining 1/3 was entered when VIX was around ~24. Plan to hold until volatility falls, but it has been very elevated across the last month, much more so than historfcally so. Interested to see how this all shakes out.
