The market continues to roar forward, all time highs again, so a bullish strategy is going to work pretty much regardless.  Still, 14% gain is pretty good, the $SPY is around 6%. Surprising that the Vix products are actually underperforming.  

So far, so good.  I am actually waiting for a bad day to pick apart the strategy.  If there is ever one.
