you think trading vix spread is easy? be my guest, I've lost $$$$ on it. the bid ask spread for this spreading is huge. I tried K1-M1, the spread is about 0.10 out of 0.6 cost, round trip transaction cost is more than 33%.

one tick is 5 cents for VIX. I knew you had no VIX futures trading experience. Please don't suggest others based on your imaginations.
【在 EM 的大作中提到】 : isn't the bid ask spread 1 tick for both legs?

please don't make early decision on me... i do trade vix futures and double my capital in 2 months, which is not too much but decent...

my apology, but I keep my opinion, mean reversal does not work nicely on VIX futures spread. and transaction cost is huge

I guess the 33% bid-ask spread is what the Market Maker needed to make money . :) Seems to me, it is a suicide to trade those high bid-ask spread instruements . Why it is so illiquid?

my guess is it's illiquid because it seems easy to buy low/sell high, but trapped a lot of ppl. And vix is decided by middle price which is kind of manipulable. and leverage is so high compared to the volatility of VIX.
money instruements

It costs me about $4 for a round trip, so a round-trip spread trade is about $8, which is only 8/50 tick... and it depends on strategy. crossing strategy on vix is too risky.

no. It is bigger than that VIX futures are not very liquid Plus, their tick size is huge

all the front 8 vix futrues have 1 tick bid-ask spread, as far as what I am looking at. the flow of the back month is not good but the book is tight...

what does $4 mean? VIX futures' minumal spread is $50 dollars per contract. so spreading round trip is $200 + commission at least. how could you get $4? it's even $5 + commissions for mini VIX futures.

you can make money by shorting vxx only when vix < vix future(n) < vix future (n+1). tvix更牛,我七十几short的,现在十七了。

sorry for the confusion, $4 is my round-trip all-in cost for futures asset i agree it doesn't make sense to cross bid ask unless you have a pretty good signal of where the train of flow is coming from...
