Sure it got good reviews - anyone who gave it a less than stellar review was probably hunted down and forced to recant.

Reading .... Just an FYI ...
"To fund it, the investor sold 262,000 VIX puts expiring in October, with a strike price of 12.
The trader then used those proceeds to buy a VIX 1×2 call spread, which involves buying 262,000 October contracts with a strike price of 15 and selling 524,000 October contracts with a strike price of 25."

In the last 23 years, the VIX has never gone below 8.84.
8.84 was around July 26, 2017.
That's Y that trader placed that bet.
What were the historical odds the VIX would go lower? Not much.
Sorry. For the record, corrected a typo. (2017, not 7102)

Just an FYI. If you trade a lot, you will get your money back one day faster..i.e. trade will settle 1 day less.
Settlement cycle to change from T+3 to T+2
Industry-wide change helps reduce risk for investors, markets
Effective Sept. 5, 2017, the financial industry shortens the settlement cycle from three business days after the trade date (T+3) to two business days (T+2) for several security types.
This industry-wide change has significant benefits:
A shorter settlement cycle helps reduce risk for investors and financial markets, including credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, and systemic risk
After the sale of a security or a payment of dividend or interest from a security, you’ll receive your payment faster
It is also true that following the purchase of a security, you’ll be required to provide funds more promptly to your broker.
The financial industry is planning a "big bang" implementation of T+2 on Sept. 5, 2017, during which all industry participants will convert to T+2 simultaneously. Note that Sept. 5 is the day after the Labor Day holiday.
