The VIX is correlated with the markets, but the price of the ETFs is strongly influenced by contango. Look at today - the ^VIX is up 5.7% but VXX is down 0.7% and XIV is up 0.6%. If these truly mirrored the spot index, this would not happen. But with the contango level at 19% right now, XIV is moving up and VXX is moving down. You can also see that the ^SPX has traded basically flat for the past month while XIV has moved up more than 17% and VXX has dropped the same amount. Again - contango.

Just a heads up - the system triggered 6 new Long ^VIX signals tonight, with 2 more already in play. 8 of 10 filters indicating a short term increase in volatility. Trade carefully though - contango still favors shorting.

FWIW, the much simpler IFT Trigger for volatility has signals an entry to TVIX or UVXY for tomorrow. It has been ages since there's been a buy sign on the simple trigger for volatility.
Not my filter.

I don't think there should be simultaneous entries and exits on the same filter, but I just took what Kevin made and wrapped it all together. There are some filters where the column returns 2, like short exit No 4 today. This can be repaired by changing the last line into:
set{exit4a, exit1b1 + exit2b1}
set{exit4,count(exit4a above 0.5,1)}

First time, I got no signals at all. Totally out. Is that what y'all are getting? Thanks in advance.
