Today is another example of me ignoring what my systems are telling me to do. I should have simply bought 5,000 shares at the open ... would be up almost $10K right now.

In basic terms, the further you go out in time the higher volatility is and is considered normal. You can see this by looking at /VX and the prices or any liquid equity options chain for that matter. Binary events will cause a case where you get contango such as an election, some event that happened like a terror event or in an equities case earnings.
Metals taking off.

I think you are talking about contango levels? My eyeball on the vixcentral contango data was that if the contango level was above 5% (which seems to be almost always nowadays) that long XIV would be a favored position.
Frankly, the best time to buy or add to a current XIV positions is when it goes BELOW 5%, since it always seems to bounce back up again pretty quickly.

Adding another 2,000 shares of XIV at market open (one new NN signal, and a slight catch up for missing a full set of trades yesterday).

Short UWT 4,000 shares at $22.01. Based on another NN system for OIL. Using OIL as the trigger to short whichever 3x leveraged ETF provides the same directional movement as the signal.
