Vix spread Betting/CFD strategy. Highest profit factor ever?
Recently I have noticed that many CFD and spread betting providers (I wont mention which ones but they are easy to find with a quick google search) are letting users "trade" the CBOE Volatility Index ( VIX ). I thought this was unusual as the VIX is not a purchasable asset; it is a measure of implied volatility (both long and short) on the S&P500 calculated through a formula using the price of S&P options. As far as I know the VIX has never been directly tradeable until now, VIX related products like ETFs which attempt to follow the VIX has been available for nearly two decades however they suffer greatly from slippage which makes them difficult to trade.
I am astonished that we are now, for the first time, able to bet on the result of a formula. I think that CFD and spread betting providers have made a mistake, they were probably just looking to add more tradable products and didn't think through fully that the VIX is not like any of their other products, and is much easier to profit from when using a quantitative strategy.
This strategy works live on 4H and daily charts and achieves absolutely ridiculous results. I set it to start with $100 initial capital, and over the course of 465 trades it made $73154339495899.86 profit due to compounding profits. This is a profit factor of 695603.753. I don't expect to earn this much profit myself as I am sure that CFD and spread betting providers will eventually realize that it was a mistake to let traders have positions betting on the outcome of a formula, and eventually stop allowing VIX trades to be placed. I am currently trading using this algorithm, and will maybe let others use this script eventually after I've had my fun. So follow me :)

Tradingview seemed to change something on pinescript which retroactively broke the last version.
