The Volatility System You NEED
By Brandon Chapman, CMT
The VIX hit 13.5 last week. Most traders saw calm waters and looked to buy the dip.
Smart money saw a storm building.
Here's why. The spot VIX was pricing 13.5% volatility. But VIX futures were pricing 18.5% for the same 30-day window.
That's not a rounding error. That's a 37% premium telling you institutions are bracing for impact while retail watches CNBC talk about market strength.
P.S. The news headlines tell you what happened today, but the Ghost Prints Surveillance Console gives you the moves that will show up tomorrow. You’ve got to see it.
The Console caught the building accumulation while everyone else was sleeping on Hertz (HTZ).
That was three weeks ago. Now it is starting to move. Another stock VG broke loose today.
Join me Monday at 2PM EST where I’ll lay out the next set of trades I’m looking at from the Ghost Prints Surveillance Console.
