News-driven volatility (Tax Bill and/or Special Prosecutor targeting Trump) has taken over the short-term trend of the market. As a result, VXX is in Long_Pending mode. If VXX is above $33.42 at 1:30 PM (EST) it will trigger LONG. If it does, we will be buying calls, whether they are Dec or Jan and what strike depends on where VXX looks to be headed if and when the trade looks like a lock. For now, either Dec $32 or Jan $35 are attactive candidates. Ed Note: DEC 33 Puts are stopped out. Exit trade.
