Eh Fred, I’m LONG VXX with SEP & OCT puts on VIX…..HMMM this will be interesting……..
running 1:10 VXX to VIX puts…..why? Why not, VXX with .vix puts seemed MUCH cheaper than outright buying a VIX straddle hehe……Ahhhh These screwy ETFs like srs/fxp/vxx!!!!
in other words, i’m basically delta neutral, but VXX with back month .VIX puts seemed like a bettter risk/reward vs. back month straddles
Thanks for the thoughts.

I was being sarcastic on the browser crash comment Fred, but mainly talking to myself I guess.
Sorry for the confusion.
