AN AMAZING 303% SINCE INCEPTION
(March 6, 2016 through December 31, 2018)
The full video by Len Yates available on this site explains the VXX Trading system in its entirety. The heart of the trading system is our proprietary indicator, the Yates VXX Indicator (YVI), which is used to provide the entry and exit signals for the VXX Trading System. Other indicators have also been developed by Len to give you more information on the current conditions for the volatility products we trade. When trading this system you are either long volatility, short volatility or in cash (no position).
Len has also built the proprietary indicators used in the VXX Trading System right into the OptionVue 8 software to enable OptionVue clients to easily trade the VXX system on their own. However, the OptionVue 8 software is not required to be able to trade this system. Subscribers can see the information right on this website and you will receive emails for every trade alert.

Testimonials
Needless to say, I am delighted so far, although I understand that there will be bumps ahead. The website is good am very happy with the service. The most valuable part are the excellent video explanations of why this system works with the daily roll effect. The understanding the video imparts gives me the confidence to hang on when we get the inevitable downturn.
I am a very happy subscriber.

Testimonial from Jerry A. received August 30th:
I have been using the OptionVue system for over 2 years exclusively for the VXX Trading System. In 2015 I had a profit of around 40% and in 2016 I was up 27%. However, I did not follow the program religiously...for some unknown reason, I thought I would make some decisions myself. How'd that work out for me? Well if I had just followed the program, I would be up much more. In addition to the results I have had using the program, it is the people and their attitude that is so refreshingly honest and helpful. There is no super-hype that we have the "perfect system" which I (and perhaps, you) have heard from so many others. I have learned to stay away from people like that. Len Yates, on the other hand, tells it like it is. He tells us when the results are not what he wanted or what he expected! He keeps us up to date on the progress for making it better. Then he gives you a complete education on what he did, how he got there, the improved results, and how we should use it. The OptionVue representatives are exceedingly knowledgeable, helpful, and always available. At the beginning of every month I receive an email from Len where he reviews the previous month, what we should do in the current month, and what could happen. If something happens, at any time, where the program is showing a change in direction, we receive an immediate email with recommended actions. OptionVue has been good to me. I believe Len and his staff will continue to make it even better. I just signed on for an additional two years.

Very few companies call the customer after the sale and say, “Hey, how are you doing with the package?” You are really first rate. Your level of service and general interest is terrific!

I was determined to find an easier way to make equal or better returns than I’d been making in real estate, without the headaches of real estate and with greater liquidity. After much research I found Discover Options and the phenomenal VXX Trading System. I am not a trader, and my knowledge of financial markets is limited at best. The system makes it easy to trade, and the incredibly patient and helpful OptionVue staff is always available for support if I have questions. It did take some getting used to, but I’ve made close to a 50% return after being in the VXX Trading System for just over 4 months in 2016. Much better than I’ve ever done in real estate, and SO much easier!

FAQs for VXX Trading System:
Do I need a special broker to trade volatility products?
Can this be traded in an IRA or similar retirement account?
How much capital is needed to trade this system?
Is there an ideal time to start using the system and how much should I invest at first?
The returns you show include reinvesting all your capital. Rather than reinvest the gains, can I just put a flat amount into each trade, say $10,000. How would that affect returns?
In addition to the daily Indicators and charts in the member section of the website, will there also be any commentary, especially during times of high volatility or when the system is going underwater?
How volatile are the returns from this system? Are there large drawdowns?
Can you use this system to trade the options or futures on volatility products?
What are the risks of buying an ETN versus an ETF?
Can the effectiveness of the system be impacted by the number of people trading it?
Can I purchase the VXX Trading System on a monthly basis, or get a pro-rated refund?
What do I get if I subscribe?
How much of a time commitment is there each day?
There is no daily commitment needed. You can of course watch your position each day, but this is not a day trading system. There have been only 8 trades since we started in March 2016 through October 31, 2017.
Do I need a special broker to trade volatility products?
No special broker is needed, although you will need to check with your broker that they allow trading these products in the type of account you have. The primary products we trade are the VXX and VIXY for long volatiltiy and SVXY for short volatility. Other substitutes for SVXY would be VMIN or ZIV. They trade just like stocks, and can be traded in the same brokerage accounts that stocks can be.
Can this be traded in an IRA or similar retirement account?
Yes, as long as your broker allows it. In fact this system works very well for long-term investments like an IRA or Roth IRA since the returns from the VXX are not correlated with stock market returns. Many of our customers use the VXX Trading System to boost the value of these tax-advantaged accounts for their retirement savings.
How much capital is needed to trade this system?
You can trade this system with as little as you choose, but based on the cost of an annual subscription, it really makes no sense to invest less than $5,000. With a $5,000 investment you would need a 24% gain simply to pay for your subscription. At the $10,000 or $20,000 level you would be able to make back your subscription cost much more quickly.
Is there an ideal time to start using the system and how much should I invest at first?
When you subscribe, you should immediately enter the position that the indicator is currently recommending. We recommend simply getting in with the full amount you intend to invest because the chance of missing out on gains is greater. But you can certainly enter with a smaller position initially and add to it over time to bring it up to your target investment if that makes you more comfortable.
The returns you show include reinvesting all your capital. Rather than reinvest the gains, can I just put a flat amount into each trade, say $10,000. How would that affect returns?
Yes, the returns shown include reinvesting all your capital each time you enter a trade, so part of the return is due to the magic of compounding. Naturally you can choose how much to allocate to any trade. Starting on March 7, 2016 with $10,000 and reinvesting all your capital each time, you would have a return of 276% and $27,606.69 in profits through May 15, 2018. If instead you had simply invested $10,000 in every trade over that same period you would have earned a return of only 175% and $17,256.85 in profits.
In addition to the daily Indicators and charts in the member section of the website, will there also be any commentary, especially during times of high volatility or when the system is going underwater?
Any time a trading signal is triggered or a special event occurs an email is sent to all subscribers and also posted to the VXX Trading Blog in the member section. There are also forums available to all subscribers where you can post and share ideas with your fellow traders and OptionVue staff about the current market situation, the VXX Trading System or really anything regarding volatility trading.
How volatile are the returns from this system? Are there large drawdowns?
Volatility products, as the name might imply, can be quite volatile and can move quite a bit each day. That is another reason we do not recommend using options. The positions in the ETF itself are volatile enough on their own. The system has had several drawdowns since March 6, 2016. The system is designed to keep you out when it would not be profitable but cannot protect you from drawdowns, The largest were a 30.9% drawdown in 2017 and a 26.4% drawdown over four days in September 2016 – although the system quickly regained most of those losses in a short time afterwards. We will keep you informed about unusual market conditions, and have developed the Yates Danger Indicator to give us a warning of potential drawdown dangers.
Can you use this system to trade the options or futures on volatility products? The system is optimized to trade the underlying ETFs themselves, not their options, and we know clients that have tried to use options instead have all reported disappointing results. We certainly have looked at using this as a basis for a trading system that uses the options and/or futures of various volatility products as well as equity indexes, and have not been able to find one that comes anywhere close to the returns produced by the VXX Trading System.
What are the risks of buying an ETN versus an ETF?
The VXX is an example of an exchange traded note (ETN) rather exchange traded funds (ETFs) such as VIXY or SVXY. ETNs are debt instruments – they do not own anything but a promise to track an index. If an ETN provider goes bankrupt, investors will not receive their investment back because an ETN is considered an unsecured debt instrument. The issuer of the VXX is Barclays Bank PLC. One recent example of how quickly things can go wrong with volatility products was the XIV by Credit Suisse AG. It was a reverse volatility ETN that was shut down as of February 21, 2018 after a dramatic fall in value. Please read the prospectus of each and make sure you understand your risks.
Can the effectiveness of the system be impacted by the number of people trading it?
The Volatility produts we trade are very liquid, as are the futures they are based on. Professional investment managers are putting millions of dollars into these instruments every day with no adverse effect on pricing.
Can I purchase the VXX Trading System on a monthly basis, or get a pro-rated refund?
No. All sales are final and we only offer an annual subscription to the VXX Trading System. Due to the nature of the system and its long term perspective you may be in the same position for several months at a time. A month, or even a couple months, is too short a time-frame to properly evaluate it.
