Oh no dude. UVIX has been bleeding for months. I ate about a 25% loss and called it quits.
thinking of selling off my $5k UVIX and YOLO'ing into BITX tomorrow....
Plan for tomorrow is to scare you tards into pumping my UVIX bags https://preview.redd.it/j5xkw3c5ex4h1.png?width=1445&format=png&auto=webp&s=5249ef395bc0f85dda534d6e94611ed2f7c7567d
UVIX is broken and barely tracks with VIX at all, much less actually delivering more than VIX
if the VIX goes up 60-80% overnight on major escalation, UVIX would make a move in the range of 120-180%, as futures go into backwardation and all headwinds become tailwinds.
I hope you don't mean UVIX, it's "broken" and there's tons of articles about how it doesn't deliver the stated goal, or even track directionally with VIX often
I gave up on UVIX. It’s a scam.
VIX is totally dumpstered despite high volatility at the individual stock level. This is because MAG7 actually don't benefit as much from AI boom, they're the ones spending so expectations for price changes are low. But think again if you're betting on higher volatility using the ETFs like UVIX. VIX contango is one of the highest it's ever been at 13% per month. This means UVIX holders are literally losing 25% per month, good luck with that.
I have some long UVIX calls. Less than a percent of the portfolio, but it will make me feel better when the shit hits. Meanwhile, re-balancing gains occasionally like a boring person.
just-out-of-the-money UVIX calls can outyield SPY puts by a massive margin.
It’s been weird lately. Kind of strange how it works. It doesn’t always inverse SPY the way I remember. If SPY creeps down, UVIX won’t do much. It needs like heavy drops. It’s not my favorite hedge anymore. I sometimes grab a handful on Fridays if I have a lot on the board. Short version- don’t know. Sorry.
I guess my UVIX calls I forgot about might come back to life so they can die again at open.
$UVIX calls that wind up encapsulating the move when it happens will likely yield 4,000–5000%
Lmfao you’re an idiot UVIX follows LONGVOL, not VIX lololol
Is UVIX just a scam? It’s not following VIX at all, let alone 2xing it
Buying SQQQ and UVIX Calls, I don't trust this pump
VIX is down 1% while UVXY is down 4% and UVIX is down 5%
Oh wow. My ITM covered call wasn't even assigned after it expired. Just a cool $160. UVIX, your days might be numbered.
VIX (such as UVIX) is an equivalent of a flamethrower: it absolutely does the job, but it can easily do you in an eye blink if you don't know how it works. You must study and understand it before trying. It has a very different logic from stocks and options. You can't buy and hold, it has cycles within cycles, and there are algos that stupidly short it with the same persistence as pension funds that buy index ETFs. Most likely you will lose 90% of position and quit.
I grabbed some UVIX just for fun.
Might grab some UVIX for the long weekend. I'm 0-22 on that ever working out though.
My dumbass was holding UVIX all of April. Some genius in here said shorting it was the easiest money. He’s gotta be dominating right now if it’s the case.
UVIX is the bear meter and right now you can see they are BLEEDING
Countries we rely on to manufacture important things are a week or two away from empty reserves. Refineries have already started to pause operations because they literally dont have physical barrels to refine. If the war “ends” tomorrow we are over a month away from “normalization” in best case scenario. A significant amount of production infrastructure is destroyed and the capacity is lost for multiple years or permanently. The Ukrainians just hit Russias largest energy infrastructure yesterday. The downturn is already locked in and the trend is accelerating not linearly, but parabolically by the day. LEAP Calls on corn and wheat. LEAP calls on US Fertilizer production. Calls on UVIX
UVIX will be $15-$20 after the major kinetic action occurs
we’re gonna open flat? guess i’m gonna wind up having 140 UVIX calls instead of 90.
MSFT, UVIX, POET, XLE calls for next week
Buy some UVIX calls before EOD
Well my UVIX hedge that was worthless today may just save my entire port
i have aped all of my money into UVIX calls expiring next friday
Ok. Interesting but I get it. I did grab a few UVIX for a parachute.
Cries in full port UVIX
My ITM UVIX better do something. Disease, war, Mango. What else does it want!?
Full port UVIX for 2 days waiting for this garbage
You can just straight up buy UVIX, it's already a derivative lol
UVIX and UVXY depending on your risk tolerance
yeah your UVIX share price
Bought 10,000 UVIX shares this afternoon. Something is going down this weekend.
Well if you're right on spy, my UVIX hedges will make a shit ton of money and dwarf the rest of my port so I sort of hope you're right.
Probably cuz I full ported my Roth into UVIX
I have a German YouTube video - where I go into the fact that I have UVIX OTM options and NVDIA Puts (IV strategy + NVIDIA had a very low IV and a high risk reversal at that time) but I do not actively go short, but secure my market risk :D
Which hedging strategies do you prefer? Straight up vix options? UVIX shares? Oil? We know by now that Gold somehow stopped working as a hedge, or is the recent SPX corellation a coincidence?
I’d wait until it actually turns. I took a chance because it looked highly likely the market would sour because of the nonsense with Iran but I was also quick to exit. SOXX back on a tear because of these earnings. Too risky to short the hottest ticket in town when euphoria has yet to cool down. SOXS decay alone can ruin a portfolio I’m trading UVXY/UVIX until the dust clears as it’s easier to predict using VIX futures and that also seems out of touch with reality. Fact is I might ride SOXL if it persists. Might as well profit from the craze. It’s never personal or about being on the right side of an idea. Just the right side of the trade.
UVIX popping tomorrow gonna be more red than the devil nutsack!!
VIX is the volatility index that measures the volatility in the market. It has a basic range it stays in and spikes at times of chaos or like when unfavorable macroeconomic conditions are stressing the market, it’s often referred to as the fear gauge of the market. Market crashes and VIX spiking goes hand in hand. OP’s play is a 2x leveraged etf that tracks the VIX (UVIX)
UVIX is what you want — moved inaccurately today based on market sentiment, overall global thrusts and underlying trends today (bullshit alert)
Somehow I searched for vix and found that it's only options or something, so ended up investing in UVIX. Smh.
Because I have UVIX and TQQQ calls.
I went and soaked in a bath for 2 hours. Came back to the charts. LOL. My UVIX gonna print. What happened? Lemme guess, Iran said they have no idea what the US is talking about in regards to Hormuz?
Maybe my three UVIX calls for next week will cushion the blow.
It's my hedge against a market collapse. This includes call options that expire either end of year or a few years away. This includes SVXY, UVXY, VIXY, and UVIX to name a few.
I feel ya Lost $10 on $UVIX calls
**Volatility Shares Announces UVIX ETF Reverse Share Split** Volatility Shares, on behalf of VS Trust (the “Trust”) announces a reverse share split (a “Reverse Split”) on one of the Trust’s series, specifically the 2x Long VIX Futures ETF (CBOE BZX Exchange Symbol: UVIX (the “Fund”))
I'll ride the bull down. UVIX, SBIT, IREX haha
I don't have time to explain but I need the following to happen tomorrow. I need TQQQ to hit 62. I need XLE to jam up north a good bit. Also POET to dip to 10. Oh and also I need UVIX to get up in the 7 area.
I’m a peasant out of day trades so have to hood all my UVIX and Puts overnight. Fucked
UVIX is going to FLY tomorrow.
SQQQ SOXS SPXS UVIX are about to rally.
My 2 UVIX calls will print hard then.
That’s a fair stance, I suffer too much conversion penalty to really dip into the options market as much as I’d like to. I’m short term bullish as well. Admittedly was too early but still solvent despite market irrationality. I settled for SOXS, SQQQ, and UVIX plays. I expect critical materials will be a big commodity in the midterm future so that’s been my counter leverage to my bear plays. I’m really eying up PLSR as a star racehorse.
Just go in inverse indexes. The losses are a lot more digestible but you can still go for triple exposure. Can do UVIX plays short term on critical dates as well. This is coming from someone with small cap to put upfront so if you can roll and stay solvent, do what floats your float.
Vix is up 9% but UVIX only 2.75%, damn a shame there only seems to be longs for this
I'm pretty sure the natural time and volatility decay is priced in. Same as people buying puts on UVIX Tbh he's better off buying options on the underlying regular etfs
UVIX doesn’t think this is volatile enough. What do you want!?
UVIX just did a 2x during the first few weeks of the Iran war. If you are good at timing the market then UVIX / SVIX often yield higher returns than TQQQ/SQQQ. You can also trade AGQ / ZSL (double leveraged silver) if you're a true masochist.
I played some UVIX calls nicely right before the Iran stuff kicked off. Rough when the timing is wrong though. I've got some spy puts for next week as a hedge. Godspeed brother.
I guess that last min UVIX call and SPY put I grabbed will mitigate the damage a little on Monday.
You can go inverse. UVIX SPXS or learn about credit spreads. You don’t want to go long right now
I closed this morning sweet tits. Just holding a few UVIX for fun. I'm not even a permabul. It just looks stupid. What I said angers you because you say stupid shit.
Before you say anything, yes, I may be a idiot. But at least I am not using AI like 90% of this sub. Earlier someone made a discussion post ridiculing the bears. This was very homophobic… Crude (ACTUAL PHYSICAL, NOT PAPER) oil is at a all time high. The VIX is about 18 (21 being the historical average). If looking only at the VIX you would assume that the current atmosphere is more calm and mild then usual. In other words, the money in the market is acting as if nothing is happening. Except we are in a situation where a significant (at the very least, noticeable) amount of Middle East oil infrastructure is destroyed, you have demand destruction in Asia, Africa, and soon Europe if this continues, the main person (Jesus Christ the Red Cross worker?) making the important geopolitical decisions is seemingly schizophrenic, most of the S&P is concentrated in about 7 companies (Nifty-Fifty flash back), and lastly the debt situation (both speaking about government and private) is interesting to say the least. Not necessarily saying the market will crash, but it would not surprise me, and I definitely think these are valid concerns. Anyway, let’s all argue about it like regards until it eventually happens 😀 (Last post was taken down by WSB bot for making a prediction without a position? Not making a prediction, but I have 522 shares of UVIX.)
I would recommend learning how to trade UVIX and SVIX. Volatility is the only certainty as this crisis unfolds. Go read up on the r/oil subreddit for more analysis. Industrial civilization begins to collapse without oil.
UVIX bagholder, reporting for booty. I charge $7 an hour. $9 if you prefer a dumpster with air fresheners.
I don't trade options for this reason. In the next few years, an opportunity will come to 5x your investment in UVIX as the stock market crashes. USL and BNO are on track to print if you can handle the volatility. The oil crisis hasn't really begun yet. However the market can stay rational longer than you can stay solvent. Good luck
I held UVIX calls over the weekend. After only making like $70 it was clear the market didn't care that talks failed and the strait was being blocked. So I bought MSFT calls and up bigly. I'm not fighting algorithms.
Look at VIX/UVIX, not making new lows and bottoming up. NYP story is fking fake. Look out below
UVIX moves faster if you’re not scared

should have been buying USO and UVIX when it was cheap like me. The market is so irrational and stupid - take advantage of it!
Is this finally the time UVIX call sellers lose the house
Imo buy UVIX calls a few weeks out or so if they are going for cheap, market is way too calm
I need TQQQ to spike up above 52 tomorrow to pay for this Yoga retreat my wife’s already on. Peace. Or UVIX to go nuts. War.
You typed all of that (no I didn’t read it all) over 4 shares of UPRO?! SPY going back down IMO. I’d take your profits and go short. VIX is considered to be inversely related to SPY. Some options, for Options. SVIX calls, UVIX Puts. Leveraged, liquid, weekly’s avail.
Im not trusting UVIX, looks spring loaded to the downside despite flat day, im out
You can get more leverage with UVIX calls. Same risk, more reward IMO.
Yup. I buy UVIX when I'm going the other way too.
