So i have this friend who thinks he has a new and winning strategy....
I took a year off trading and decided to get in again and start small so I don’t blow my load all at once. All of this of this has been swing trading SPXS, SQQQ, TBT and UVXY. Now I’m long in LEAPs with my profits.
What exactly am I buying into if I buy something like UVXY?
Buy UVXY, wait for bottom in '28, scoop up cheap [insert currently booming industry] stocks, profit... This even predicted a c19 crash?

For everyone who said “I should have bought volatility when UVXY was $8.75 - You’re welcome!
That VIX launch that occurred yesterday in the midst of a green market is a specific pattern that has foretold of major volatility increase and an imminent SPY drop in each previous occurrence. (7 for 7.)
What a week to be a gay bear. +27k gain on ABNB/SPY Puts and UVXY calls (+295%)
UVXY , holding strong until Jerome pivots us into a societal collapse 🥲💎🙌
Spy is at the top of a trendline. While UVXY is at the bottom of a trendline. If it bounces spy will bleed all week.
UVXY is at the bottom of a trendline. If it bounces here could mean a bloody week for spy.

SPY dipping and UVXY still down -1.5%. I'm gonna lose money on SPY calls and UVXY calls as the hedge lol
The only thing you can reliably control with an ETF is the expense ratio. For a passive ETF, more than 4 bps in the US, 5 bps for developed ex-US, and 7 bps for emerging is way too much. For an active ETF, if you had reason to believe that the fund manager could reliably provide outperformance. For instance, I'll pay up to 35 bps for Avantis/Dimensional products. That's a reasonable cost for managing thousands of stocks, often in emerging markets, providing multifactor tilts and considering tax-efficient investments. KWEB does neither. I'm getting a bunch of crap I don't want along with a handful of stocks I do want. There's no methodology to their madness, and with only 28 stocks, there's no reason I couldn't do this myself even if I wanted the other stocks. I do get the ability to have my stocks denominated in HKD, but that's neither an advantage nor a disadvantage, and in any case, it's been pegged to the USD for decades now. Finally, not only do most active managers underperform the index they track, but KraneShares's KWEB is [one of the absolute worst](https://www.investopedia.com/worst-performing-funds-11707771), trailing only SQQQ, UVXY, and ARKK over the last decade. Basically, a triple-levered short Nasdaq-100 ETF in the middle of a huge bull run (with an outrageous ER), a daily leveraged inverse volatility index never designed to be held long-term (with an outrageous ER), and an the flagship ETF from Crashy Woods (with an outrageous ER).
VIX uses OTM puts and calls to measure volatility and as things skews more towards puts it reflects downside fear by investors. UVXY is used as well by traders (more even I think) since it’s a trade-able asset (VIX is just an index so you can do options on it but can’t hold it) and its leveraged so it’s easier to see signals clearly as it rises. I’m expecting it to rise more soon actually.
In February I had shorted five lots (500 shares) of broadcom that I covrred once the tariff panic struck. I habitually short SVIX weekly because that ETF is designed to lose money. Then I also short UVXY because, again, the way it is structured, it keeps losing money. It is hard to time the top, but selling a little each day works. Taking profit is also hard to gt accurately... but even if you are close to the bottom it's good enough. The best shorts are tripled leveraged ETFs that undergo decay . If you use them in a way they are not intended (i.e., short shares instead of buying), you profit. Some of my best gains came from shorting TQQQ and SQQQ.
Added a bit to my SPXS/SQQQ/UVXY position because I hate my savings and they need to be lower
UVXY suspiciously above $17 despite SPY at all time highs again and almost green today. Last week it was $16.75. Interesting.
UVXY hasn't budged an inch for this entire rip. Trap city
knowing trump he will do this friday afternoon when my UVXY calls expire
knowing trump he will do this friday night when my UVXY calls expire
my UVXY calls are gaining strength
Why is UVXY down 2.3%? Need bigger dip?
Yesterday was so fuckin weird. VIX and UVXY grinding up with flat spy. Now GLD is pumping and spy is far outpacing the weighted gains in its components. 🤷♂️
VIX is rising. sold a few UVXY calls that I bought last week.
I blew my first port with UVXY calls
Don't buy Puddies Peeps... buy volatility. UVXY was super low, way cheaper than SPY Puts and for a longer time period.
I’m exhausted thinking his antics will bring blood Mondays anymore. Early on? Sure. Today? Highly doubt it either because the market has ignored him or he’s going 180. I’ll believe it when I see it and then UVXY in play. Typical irrational market might finally be rational due to irrational threats that don’t fulfill
Long UVXY at 16.90. This is a good hedge if you’re long.
Loading UVXY near 52 week low for the inevitable “THE WEEKEND IS HERE BUT DONT FORGET ME, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION” tweet that nukes us at 1pm. Same script from good ol orange man
Am I regarded or is UVXY just free money whenever it hits a low point? Just wait for rare if announcement and then sell immediately??
True....never hedged with VIX or UVXY and had it not expire worthless. Its just a waste of money.
UVXY pinned at $16.95 despite SPY moving up.
UVXY keeps on plummeting. Under $17 is fkn insane.
UVXY below $17??? Honestly, wtf.
There is a bit of a crashophobic sentiment in calls and puts of SPY rn. I'll be looking for more exposure in VIX-based ETFS. UVXY gang lol. Probability of UVXY dropping below $17.12 by Friday is only 33%.. https://preview.redd.it/imbp87esbzbf1.png?width=959&format=png&auto=webp&s=102fdb93d76cfc2725921833f94b6f4bb480d2ed
UVXY at all time lows. SPY at all time highs ...............
Lol I should have put /s on my comment. Anyway, I have SPY 626Cs for Friday and UVXY calls for next friday to hedge
You think so? Should I cut losses? Average at 19, 200 shares of UVXY.
Soooooo all in UVXY? Sounds like a great way to lose money.
Is anyone buying UVXY calls soon? Or do we expect further downside?
what's your position? I just bought a handful of UVXY $17 calls for 1.42 avg , 8/1 expiry
UVXY 17.5 c 7/11 I have 50 and 17.5 c 7/18 I have 80
placing an order for $17 calls on UVXY 1/8 expiry. let's see what happens
I have an obscene amount of UVXY shares. It dropping $2+ over the past week or so fkn depressing to see. I’ll stay patient for a pop soon.
UVXY at 52 week lows is fkn insane.
UVXY close to 52 week lows. Damn.
UVXY is dead. Bring back volatility.
Yeah I'm just gonna stay mostly cash plus these UVXY shares until after August 1st I think
Need VIX futures to move, UVXY ain't doing shit
UVXY calls...still under HOD
UVXY Nuff said. Later buy the bottom most depressed index based ETF 3x leveraged product
I’m holding way too many UVXY shares (350 shares at $20) for a spike. Till then, selling covered calls bi-weekly to minimize the damage. I don’t see how there’s no volatility over the next 30-60 days.
Agreed. Also, UVXY call options are still cheap. Makes me think we’re still going up.
I watch premarket and then first few minutes at open. I use confluence to determine most of my trades (ex: want to trade Tesla I’ll look at QQQ and UVXY). I wait to see if there’s any momentum and volume and then I’ll scale in. If my position already starts running then I’ll just let it go with a trailing stop loss and just set it and forget it. If it’s going against me I’ll average down until I get to my max position size I’d like (risk management and position sizing is key) and then that’s it. I’ll set a stop loss at that point and if it keeps going against me I just stop out. I try not to risk more than 20% in a trade. I rarely swing positions overnight. I’ll only do that if my week is going well and I can stomach a gamble. Other than that, make key levels. If you watch certain stocks/indexes you’ll find they usually stay in a range and there’s areas of support. If possible I only buy near those support levels. Watch daily open/weekly open/ monthly opening ranges. Totally agree that the algos are very smart. Setting stop losses is tricky and many times my trailing stops get hit and then the underlying just continues and I miss out. Managing FOMO is key and keeping cash on the side to re enter if needed. It’s way better to miss out than to diamond hand a position down to -90%. Imo trading is more about reacting to the market than timing the market. Otherwise for longs I’ll just DCA and wait. I USED to exit at 25% gain or so (I do options) but I’ve learned that creates FOMO or setting a target that doesn’t get hit. Trailing stops are better. Many traders take profit too early and hold their losses too long. Press your winners and cut your losers. Just like anyone I’m still learning but these guidelines are what I’ve found work best for me.
UVXY should always be a short term hedge, unless you have god-like prescience. It’s designed to lose value over time.
Market is so broken that even UVXY is up 🥴
Thinking about iron condors on UVXY
I'm gonna guess UVXY is based off VIX futures and those are down due to some rollover thing or contango or some random other shit I don't get I imagine
VIX up but UVXY is down???? Huh???
Lawn mower $300 Edger $200 Gas tank with gas $50 Still have $450 for weekly UVXY
Tossed 40k into SPXS/SQQQ/UVXY at the highs so sitting pretty at the moment, hopefully 🥭 loses his mind this weekend and puts a 1,000% tariff on Canada or something equally dumb
hmmm. not sure what to hold this weekend. UVXY?
VXX & UVXY both being greens while SPY is +.52% mean we are about to plummet into oblivion by close
Am I the only one slowly loading up UVXY shares while VIX is at 16 and some change?
Ima just buy calls on UVXY, last time tariff talk occurred the price jumped. 22/c for July 11
Already started buying UVXY
Sorry, I was assuming he/she was talking about UVXY.
$UVXY getting down to a good level. Downside is basically max -7%. I'd recommend going all in here.
UVXY, that is the best way to bet on the VIX?
I’m with you on UVXY shares. I bought some for a hedge going into last weekend and the now the position is decently red. It was an impulsive purchase and I regret it but I can’t sell now with it being close to 19. I do think more volatility is imminent.
I been selling UVXY puts.. Took some profits yesterday, but clearly should have taken more before today
How are we feeling on UVXY? would it be a smart choice to buy into since everything with Israel and Iran is picking up?
Buying another 100 shares of UVXY. Make volatility great again!
Do yourself a favour and buy as much UVXY as possible. This isn't over at all. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Something tells me to buy more UVXY.
Bombing and war are good for the market. Good for TV, good for defense stocks, causes oil to fall too. UVXY will crush. Stocks only go up.
UVXY crushed because I expected 🇮🇷 to not be a bona fide, unmitigated bitch.
>Imagine holding options over a weekend like this one. #Godspeed retards. 🫡 ^(I just remembered I have UVXY calls)
Are my UVXY calls cooked? Anyone wanna take bets?

I grabbed some UVXY shares as well 🌮 doesn’t follow his own word so I bought insurance lol
I picked up some UVXY $30 calls expiring June 27, 2025. How likely is it that they’ll pay off?
UVXY hitting 50+ on monday
Jokes on you, I bought calls on UVXY (amongst defense and oil plays)
I went all in on UVXY on Friday. I prepped for this 😂
99% of Reddit will meme nonsense. Actual play is UVXY Monday with a stop loss. VIX Could drop as fast as it spikes.
UVXY calls, SQQQ shares, QQQ puts 🙏
Defense stock? What about UVXY? Just load up on call options
In what world will buying UVXY at open not work out
UVXY calls are back on the menu
UVXY going to atleast 30 monday. These weekly calls are about to 10x
Shorting SPY - probably a good move. SOXS or UVXY could be plays too. You might be able to buy these in premarket Monday and get the jump on things. Take a hint from Bitcoin… it’s selling off this weekend so far… not much appetite for risk here.
Yeah, you're right. 90% UVXY & 10% compounding 0DTE QQQ puts, just in case timing is wrong.
Next week: UVXY calls or 0DTE QQQ puts?
If u didnt get UVXY calls before close your about to miss a free 10x next week
If you don’t like UVXY calls, you don’t like NBA basketball
