Hypothetical "Volmageddon 2.0" using newly launched $UVIX Etf. ( Swipe right for 1.0 in $UVXY )
$UVIX 🎄 I like it for the market panic. What's not to like about it?
Chances for a UVIX 2x run up ahead - be on the look out for bad news.
Down 63k in the past month on UVIX (2X leveraged VIX etf)
Last Friday UVIX calls @15 exp 7/15 sold on 7/13 and then some tesla puts @715 exp 7/15 sold on evening of 7/13
My Plan for Intergenerational Wealth : UVIX ---> SVXY ---> SPY ---> Real Estate
IMPP and RDBX where good bearish bets for the start of this month. Closed my position for big gains. ( over 20% IMPP and over 40% RDBX) not to mention the 50% gain with UVIX. Market is very low now and I don’t feel like being bearish at those prices. I’m BULLISH ON BOIL
Bull trap confirmed. Positions: UVIX @ 17.74/share. Held over the weekend. I do indeed, belong here.
Thoughts on the UVIX and the SVIX??
UVIX soared nearly 40% on the day! An investor's "dream" return, what other investment would have such a return?
UVXY :drakeno: UVIX :drakeyes: UVXY is BACK!

for anyone who thinks these red futes are fake open an after hours screener look at the volume of UVIX SQQQ SOXS and other bear etfs bought millions and millions of inverse etf and you think that there wont be a massive drawdown after sell the new rate cut? we are only getting one more cut if we are lucky which means the market will throw a tantrum until the odds of more go up thats the name of the game look at last week
so much UVIX SQQQ and SOXS bought after hours we are gonna have a -2% day tomorrow minimum they are mad we only getting 1 cut next year maybe none if things keep getting worse when silver pumps it means stocks will crash not even gold is safe now
Beware VIX holders or those thinking of buying VOL products: UVIX is decaying by literally 20% PER month. Good for VIX shorters though.
What kind of dolt isn't loading up on VIXY/UVIX calls and shares right now? Holy shit, free money.
Im holding my UVIX calls as well. We will rally tomorrow
Buy UVIX calls at open and then sell after J Pow finishes speaking
UVIX daytrade around 2pm will be ez money if this happens.
I wouldn't necessarily say it is more complicated, it just has its own peculiarities that make it particularly dangerous, even for experienced traders, let alone beginners. The difference in liquidity, the devious expansion of bid-ask spreads, there are just different ways you can get screwed on VIX options. If you have an interest in VIX, I would suggest you first get very familiar with the VIX landscape as a whole before diving into VIX options. VIX futures, and how popular VIX ETFs like UVIX and UVXY are constructed, you'll want to be comfortable with all of these things before trading VIX options. Or, you might find that one of these other instruments better suits your needs than VIX options.
UVIX calls full port for Christmas Day tomorrow
Feels like crash coming! Hedging with UVIX!
Some UVIX calls for this week
SVIX and the etp's track vix futures, not the index. You're also better off probably buying calls on UVXY, UVIX, or VXX. Also, trying to predict spikes is hard and you're more than likely going to lose money on this but good luck.
UVIX printed $7.77. This is extremely lucky and our Chinese brethren will be doing a yeoman’s job in full porting into UVIX.
If it trades sideways mon/tuesday why wouldn’t it be a good idea to load up on UVIX calls? Wouldn’t vol premiums be low for a potential crash with FOMC decision Wednesday? Would spy puts or SOXS calls be better??
Surprised UVIX sank so much this week
Blew half my paycheck on UVIX calls today, does that mean i have room temperature IQ?
!banbet UVIX 9.67 2w If you had to choose, would you rather win a banbet or make money?
Short UVIX or UVIX puts, roll decay is insane, it's double VXX so you have that working for you, if for any reason you need be long VIX - ITM VIX calls, never long VIX ETF's, the roll decay crushes gains.
RGTZ and UVIX 2x everything
My SPYM puts and UVIX printing… Sorry bulls. Christmas is canceled for at least today.
taking profit on MSTZ and adding a bit more UVIX. Fun day thus far.
Stop buying the dip!! Let me print my UVIX/SOXS calls 😡
Me! I gots 20k shares of UVIX and 10 calls for more. Just don’t ask me about my BITX 🤦🏼♀️ https://preview.redd.it/4czg4jbnti4g1.jpeg?width=266&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5a5b90f03de6a820bd1e3149a40ff5ac40941fa4
I knew I should have full ported UVIX before Thanksgiving
Buying some UVIX calls in case some fuckery happens
NVDA pumping violently but nothing else catching a ride up. Think I'mma grab some more UVIX and SRTY.
I never sell any option ITM, so that's not a problem for me, but again, I don't sell (nor buy) single directional options without a counter hedge. I do often buy UVIX puts for intraday Vega hedging, but seldom leave them unpaired overnight (they have ugly Theta) The entire point, again, given a choice of one or the other, I would not sell puts on this ETF, roll decay is extreme.
I get that, but if you’re not selling naked then you’re owning the etf anyway which is decaying. Is that not a lose lose? I’ve been wheeling UVIX since August and it’s not been bad selling puts. The volatility has been awesome.
LOL my UVIX triggered my $10 stoploss yesterday. It went to 9.80, and then directly to $13 I got fuckin played so hard
That's why you hedge your bets. Even though it's leveraged, I've been holding UVIX and slowly have bought bottoms. That alone keeps me green on red days.
Finally my ridiculous decision to hang on to way too much UVIX pays off 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dud we have had 4 vix spikes to 20+ in a month and a half and we are trending up strong still in VIX. The UVIX which is supposed to decay has been going up for two months. Something is brewing…
Scurried back to cash and UVIX when Taco started threatening members of Congress this morning, been buying the dips since noon and reloading my positions in TQQQ, SPXL, NVDL, AMDL, and SOXL.
UVIX calls have been a gamechanger. Whenever everything is green, by UVIX calls.
of course fucking SQQQ and UVIX split before the smol short 😡
Buy calls on UVIX when things are green, when they go read your calls will be green
This is an awesome time to buy and sell UVIX every other day. $9.80 this morning, sell at 11.50. Next day repeat
the perfect V arrived, for UVIX. lol
I've made over 10k the past 2 weeks on 25k initial. Current position of 2500 UVIX is up 17% rn I set a stop loss, I am gonna let it ride thru NVDA ER. Worst case I lose 6k paper gains
I'm 60% UVIX (up 22% currently), 40% cash. I shall profit off the tears of bulls
Buy UVIX or any VIX etf. Thank me later
I'm up 22% on $25k of UVIX. I set a stop loss at my buy price, and just gonna see what happens with NVDA ER. Live in Asia so market close is 430am. Gonna be an interesting morning to wake up to.
It’s just an option’s contract, calls and puts. There is a VX1 and VX2 and both are the 1 month and 2 month front dated VIX contracts that roll over. There is also volatility ETFs in UVIX, UVXY and VIXY that are different dated versions of VX1. you can be long and short volatility, just like a stock.
Hedge your portfolio dude. Also if this upsets you, maybe investing isn’t for you. I’ve been setting up with SQQQ and UVIX in anticipation of this when the gov reopened but I still collared them.
UVIX fuckin running. I am making so much money. It's so hard to know when to sell
[Up 16% on UVIX. Soon to be 40%+](https://ibb.co/Pv3TJ1hd)
I’ve been in on SQQQ and UVIX for a month now. Let it burn.
Hold my $25k of UVIX that I'm already up 16% on Hopefully 100% eow
Hold my $25k of UVIX that I'm already up 16% on. Hopefully up 100% eow
Bought $25k UVIX at close on friday. Looking forward to carnage
Long $SOXS and $UVIX (prob just buy the ETF's and hold for 1 week instead of doing options tho)
Bought a boat load of UVIX OTM calls on Friday. Time to get paid.
UVIX greener than SPY. ruh roh
$UVIX at around $8.50 for a weekly premium of around $10.
Robinhood is so f-cked, It is gatekeeping trades for instant deposit by saying some are too volatile and some are not, I can buy PUTS in RUN, RBLX, and buy UVIX Calls, but if I want to buy an NFLX or ASML put it said no, I don't know if there is a monetary cap where I need to leave some left in or what but the odd rules are rubbing me the wrong way.
Had 3000 UVIX queued up to buy @ 8.95 yesterday "Nah, SPY will recover for a few days, better wait" God Fucking Damnit.
Thanks Cthulhu I’m already a UVIX bag holder 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Understand this, UVIX index that should decay pretty easily. Has been at least flat for a month and a half. It’s rough out there bro
Sold my entire SOXS and UVIX positions. Thanks bulls enjoy the pressure.
This guy hasn't shorted the UVIX once but talks like this lol
[UVIX makin my day](https://ibb.co/h12DFHtc)
Genuine Question: Holding 3000 UVIX at 8.85 It's currently $11.20. I am tempted to hold thru the weekend, but would be so easy to just grab this bag and chill. WWWSBD?
Already got a nice return on UVIX. I'll take a spike please sir
Me holding 3000 UVIX @ 8.85 Enjoying my little play. It is working out nicely
Best I can do is more UVIX on top of the 3000 I have at $8.85
I love VIX VIX hates SPY All your calls will fucking DIE with a ring ding, ding a ling Bulls are fucking donnnnne VIX is going to fly me to the SUN ^^^(currently ^^^up ^^^24% ^^^on ^^^$30k ^^^of ^^^UVIX ^^^and ^^^climbing, ^^^fast)

SQQQ and UVIX… Let’s gooo
UVIX is the new GLD OMEGALUL 🤣🤣🤣
UVIX calls and chill type of day
LOL I'll be over here with my 3000 UVIX @ 8.76. Join me. If you have good timing
Might be time to full port UVIX. ALL IN BABY!
Income ETFs such as GOOY and WPAY as well as holding a small amount of UVIX to guard for volatility and then I would just start reading abt investing and trying to teach yourselves, and start simply watching the markets
Tbh I’d go with UVIX, literally can’t go tits up.
UVIX calls to be specific
I have a ton of UVIX calls exp 11/14 so that would be nice
Holding 3000 UVIX @ $8.95. Currently $10.50. I think SPY goes lower
Even UVIX is not gonna save you boi 🫣 wtf is this shit
UVIX doesn't work. Just buy calls on VIX
Fuck it, $50k into UVIX for 🥭’s spooky Halloween invasion of Venezuela
UVIX and you are fine
It has weight if people believe it has weight. I could list a dozen other bearish signals that are all present right now, algos will run it down further if enough people start selling. The selloff has already started, closing auction today was quite bearish and then it got pumped after hours into a clear bull trap before what might be a triple gap down open. $SPY put 678 and 671 at open tomorrow, already have VIX calls, will buy UVIX calls at open tomorrow as well. Clean setup to enter a short position (I have not been in a short position since 2023).
3000 UVIX @ 8.79 I'm ok with this
3000 UVIX @ 8.79 gonna fucking print. I can feel it
Don’t care still bullish. Half in on ASST calls half in on UVIX calls so I’m making money rn.
Been hopping on VIX dips (buying UVIX) the past week. Quick flipping. Working out well so far. Praying SPY takes a massive shit. But still making $ if it doesnt
