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?

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.

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)

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

Just incase anyone is wondering troops are being deployed to the Middle East. The war in Iran rages on, the market is pricing in the announcement of the US being involved.

UVXY absolutely collapsing
VIX = -10% UVXY = "I save you papa"
UVXY thoughts? Exploding this week?
Reason i went with VIX is that it can be sold 24/7 whereas UVXY is under the regular market. I can close my position on VIX just now if I wanted to even though its a federal holiday and the market is closed. Im up 50% so far but VIX is going to jump in the next 72hrs
Retard here with a question, does UVXY raise in price from slow bleeds like one we might see or is it only major market moves?
Russian and Chinese diplomats being drowned strikes?? Also why not get on UVXY? Its the leveraged by 1.5x
Just don't be like 1R0NYMAN and his box spreads. UVXY is literally the worst thing to do them on, lol. [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/aeqcvt/i\_dont\_know\_when\_to\_stop/](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/aeqcvt/i_dont_know_when_to_stop/)
I did the day before actually calls on UVXY basically the same thing 23c $.28 and rode it all the way up to 1.20ish and back down to .70 and held forgoing about 4.5k for a possible greater gain tomorrow. We shall see.
Bear market begins baby!! UVXY and SQQQ!!!
UVXY just in case they announce some bonkers shit
damn, sold my UVXY calls a weee bit too soon
its crazy how my mind goes from hold UVXY at all costs to end of week to --->in shower i think i should take my profit---> out of shower profit mostly gone might as well hold on
If shares, look into leveraged shares such as SQQQ/TQQQ, UVXY, SVXY, etc. If you want some action daily, might be a starting point.
feel like UVXY should be way higher than what it is. source: has calls on UVXY
UVXY Calls made this morning and held overnight. We shall see.
I have a bunch of SQQQ and UVXY. Only a matter of time before this nonsense stops and we crash
I learned the hard way doing this and it caused quite a bit of stress. Margin requirements increase greatly leading up to the short leg expiration. Despite my position being long 235x july 15th AM 2025 $20 calls @ $1.94 and short only 150x june 17th 2025 AM expiration $20 calls @ $0.25. I had, in addition, about $17,600 in cash. I put this on around mid 16s on the vix spot index on a tuesday. By friday open, vix spot was almost 22. Now, my maintenance margin requirements were still only about $3,000 at this point and even into the close that friday which was june 13th 2025. By sunday open at 8:15pm eastern, june 15th 2025, my maintenance margin jumped to as high as $19,500 leaving me with a negative excess liquidity of around 1900$. Luckily, interactive brokers has a 10% soft margin buffer giving me to about $19,600 before auto-liquidating to bring my excess liquidity back over a maintenance margin, but either way maintenance came back in, still giving me a negative excess liquidity of about -$700, so i covered 1 short call, bringing my maintenance margin back to around 14k. Now, i am still writing this email as of June 16th 2025, with some time before the june expiration and still have essentially all the position on, 149x still short june exp $20 calls and long 235 july $20 calls, so I will check back here and update on how high maintenance can get going into these last 2 days. I dont want others to feel the stress I did this weekend. Not pleasant and if you are trading vix, you MUST be aware of this on any sort of spread. I'd truthfully, recommend never doing spreads on vix, just be naked. Especially with a long bias, the short vix play I just would never play on the index, $UVXY is usually what I trade short if I am bearish vix. They keep the implied volatility so elevated literally right up until expiration it makes no sense selling calls if youre buying a vix in the mid teens until it pops. I had run into something like this before but wasn't fully informed as it was not a large position and I wasn't forced to learn the intricacies of this product and I ended up just closing the spread. This was a pretty good sized position and I did not want to be forced out of it so I learned the mechanics much more. Hope this helps with vix calendar spreads. I will be back...
Creepy ominous feelings seeing GME and UVXY both at 22.30 overnight a day same prices past week
Will my UVXY 23c print by the 20th? I may be a bad person for secretly fingers crossed for the Israel Iran thing to only slightly worsen
Only when the VIX is low does UVXY make sense. And you don't want to hold it for too long either because it's a decaying derivative. Usually if the VIX is below 17% its not a bad time to get some.
Two days before Donald Trump announced his tariffs, I made my first ever options trade. Put $1000 into a UVXY call. Monday and Tuesday passed, I was down 86%. Wednesday afternoon came with the announcement and I had some hope. I closed Friday right before the market closed, up about 700%. Threw it all into VOO and it’s been a ride ever since. Luckily I caught that wild market rebound the following Monday.
UVXY also pumps on uncertainty and usually much harder than gold. Why should one invest in gold over UVXY going into a war? I imagine the biggest risk is the much much greater decay in UVXY, but the start of a war is a pretty safe time for it. Perhaps a play like UVXY for a day or two while the war starts then rotate into gold to minimize downside?
UVXY green for Monday?
Au contraire, you can gamma scalp by shorting VXX, UVXY or UVIX or long SVIX, it's usually a very boring gradual upward slope with periodic explosions, April was insane. The reason I do that is that very often the VIX explodes late night when you can't sell the option. I do the same with SPX and a few commodities.
Ya could get you some UVXY calls exp next Friday cus of you know you know
Go grab some UVXY calls exp next Friday just in case we all get nuked. You're be the richest person in the apocalypse
We shall see. Let’s go tank baby!! UVXY AND SQQQ!!! F this fake market
It was a rough day. I had my hand on the trigger for 64 contracts UVXY calls to dump right before close. I held
bought XLE and UVXY 3 mins before close today eating good tomorrow
UVXY is up 15% based on calculating the last two futures prices
on my broker I'm seeing VIXY at +13.6% and UVXY at +20.67%
With VIX up 20% how does UVXY corralate with that?
Gut feelings are a good guide. For no reason today something told me go buy some steak. So I went and was bullshittin with this butcher and got a deal bought a whole Tbone 20lb for 6.49 lb and he cut it up 1inch thick steaks also got 2 whole ribeye each 12lb for 7.99 lb got them cut up 1inch thick. Got it all in the freezer then got an extremely strong feeling to buy some UVXY calls over this weekend protest riot shit so I did and what ya know WW3 starts. Go figure.....
