VIX Calendar Spreads | Market Measures

How the nature of the VIX gives added risk when trading Calendar Spreads! See more videos from the Market Measures Series: http://ow.ly/JGY2E In a typical options Calendar Spread, the maximum loss is equal to the amount of money paid for the spread. However, given that VIX and /VX futures trade independently of one-another, this isn't the case when trading VIX Calendars. tastytrade quantifies how often you will incur a larger loss than the debit paid-- something to be aware of when trading this spread! It's not always easy to take the measure of a market, whether you've been trading for a day or a decade.
