ZIV Bias:

BiasTM: The current bias of VXX and ZIV as determined by the current shape of the VIX futures term structure and short-term trend indicators. A more negative reading means a stronger negative bias ("headwind") for that security. A more positive reading means a stronger positive bias ("tailwind"). Values from +10 to -10 represent +/- 4 standard deviations of values since March 2004.

VRP: The VRP (Volatility Risk Premium) signal compares forward implied volatility (VIX) with historical volatility. The common convention is that a positive reading indicates a buy signal for XIV while a change to negative indicates a buy signal for VXX. The magnitude of the reading is irrelevant for our purposes.
