We?ve got one this morning, so I?m taking profits on my position in the iPath S&P 500 Short Term Futures ETN (VXX) September, 2016 $30-$33 in-the-money vertical bull call spread.

This gets us out of the dangerous and unpredictable terra incognita of the August Nonfarm Payroll report on Friday. It also lets us duck the big volatility collapse you usually get ahead of a three-day weekend.

If you bought the (VXX) outright - take the short term profit.

Well done and on to the next trade!

This makes 9 out of the last 10 consecutive Trade Alerts profitable.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the mid market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.

Don?t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
