Notes: A VIX term structure trade with a break even at or above where the corresponding /VX future is trading. Designed to emulate what a correspondent front month futures contract in /VX does as it converges on spot, the short call vertical has a 16.60 break even versus the October /VX contract at 16.55.
Will look to take profit at 50% max.
