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%)

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.

Looks like my UVXY calls are gonna print before expiring after all.
UVXY LEAPS are still expensive. Need to go over $15 on a lot of them to be in the money. That would be a 40-50% increase from here. Market is expensive if you are bullish and the same is true if you are bearish. Sideways trading until Fed cuts rates/we die?
I have QQQ calls and UVXY calls. I am immune to profit OR loss.

UVXY is under valued this morning
I remember someone saying they were going long UVXY earlier this week. Bet that worked out pretty well…

I probably should've held those UVXY calls until tomorrow
Most of you thought UVXY was a college and it shows.
Buying some UVXY calls. Hit single digits.
UVXY decay can burn you but played well can help gain in times of stress. I'll look into VIX calls.
Valid point but was the return the same for same amount spent such as fees paid to keep their position vs cost of having shorted the banks either the highest risk. What I find odd being quite a few small banks and investors went to zero therefore perhaps shorting them the most return but fact is I understand what they did in general yet not familiar with the actual mechanics including carrying costs of shorting stocks. My approach is UVXY which has worked for me and easier for me to enter and exit
Do you usually just play on index? If I want to trade on volatility swings, what's generally the best strategy? I can describe my thesis plainly: I believe the tech market is going to swing very dramatically over the next three weeks, flatline week of thanksgiving, and start swinging wildly again up to xmas. I'm doing straddles (options on SPY for those days the market rallies and spreads in 1,2,3 week exp on VIX being my primary play). I'm not brave enough to do 0dte plays yet as I'm still learning fundamentals, but I am doing weekly straddles and working my way to shorter plays. What are the best instruments/tickers for this? I'm up 50% week-over-week in actual cash for 3 weeks straight with good psychology (take principal back out, take some profit, invest and learn with the rest). I started doing some paper trades on UVXY and that's going alright, but just wondering what other tips you might have. I'd welcome a DM too. I work from home in tech and love a good coffee-o-clock at market open with friends and other traders to learn from. Cheers and congrats on your success!
Just buy way out of the money calls on some shit stock. It’s not that hard. Actually I thought about this the best option is to buy deep OTM UVXY calls. They usually have pretty good liquidity even like 400% out of the money depending on the expiry date. But that will ensure like a 99% chance you lose all the money. If you end up making money on the position then that means there was a massive market crash. In which case you shouldn’t have a problem loss harvesting.
Sold my calls and UVXY puts way too early. RIP 300+%, hello 25%.
I think I found a loophole/silver longing for myself…. I’m restricted from opening positions due to PDT but have some UVXY calls expiring and some cash…. I think I’m gonna let them get assigned.
I hope you are right. I loaded up on UVXY
No one responsed to my craigslist ad, sell my TSLZ, SOXS and UVXY calls or hold longer? They're dated pretty far out- so if this things got more of a bottom, guess I'll hold.
I have a couple SOXS calls and UVXY calls. And some TSLZ shares that have probably mooned. Should I sell at open or is this thing going to dump harder?
UVXY is the only real descent vix option and still fucks you. Was up 7-8% today and my mid November calls only 1.5x… on an regular stock index w have been 20x and even a stock 4x. I get the dynamics. I understand vix can never go to zero but 1x on 8% is bullshit.
I have CALLs, but they're in UVXY and TLT.
That was my thought. Keep 20 percent in something that does opposite of the market. For instance I was in UVXY during the tariff week and while others got killed my account stayed even a d actually went up This allowed me to swing trade the UVXY and dump the profits into spy and qqq etc. so I would like something that can act this way to even out the UPS and downs of corrections and allow me to profit. Uvxy would be the perfect vehicle for this if not for the decay
There's no free hedge. They all come with some sort of cost. With UVXY, it's the decay from the futures being relatively overpriced compared to the expected VIX (plus huge internal trading costs and fees). With VIX options, the options are priced based on the futures, so again, they are overpriced compared to the expected VIX by expiration.
UVXY, BITI, and WEN are today's triple delight
So I'm still learning, but last summer I bought UVXY as a hedge for market loss. It worked well with all the uncertainty and especially well with the liberation day stuff where I was buying options on UVXY. So I thought I had it all figured out. Buy UVXY and hold to be insulated from downturns. However I didn't understand the reset so there was a flaw in my thinking and my money dwindled while the index stayed flat. Is there any other way to do this hedge and own the VIX or something like it without the decay that comes with UVXY? I looked at options on $vix but they have a lot of premium built in even on deep ITM leaps
He’s about 6 months early, the key is to wait till senators and other insiders start making huge buys into puts and UVXY calls. Unusualwhales op
I thought they fixed this years ago when someone took on 60:1 leverage with UVXY box spreads or something like that lol
Every single thing i hold was inversed. Kind of wild. Like even my volatility plays like UVXY calls didnt budge today. Its all because the juice big mad
Waiting on my $UVXY alarm to hit >70 RSI then going heavy on 25 delta calls ≈21 days out.
I been holding UVXY so long I should receive a dividend
Buying UVXY is like watching the Khardashians and expecting something smart to happen
Hit the low baby and let's drill. UVXY, get off your ass
UVXY is a bet that the market will crash. Sell quickly if the price spikes, because it will head down the next day.
If you bought 1 share of UVXY in 2011 you’d be down 1 billion dollars. Crazy.
Welp I hope if shit hits the fan my 25 calls of UVXY at 13 and 15 will save me. Fuck if we’re gonna dump let’s fucking gooooo deeeeeepppppp I. That asssssss.
UVXY will be the only winner this afternoon
Imagine not buying UVXY calls at $9.86 lol
I like UVXY, I think it’s safer as it seems to move a bit slower and has better expansion
$20 Scratch offs or UVXY calls You do you
Picked up some UVXY calls and PLTR puts at close. Buy low, sell high, as they say.
Just curious why you would sell UVXY (Trump insurance) when it's trading under $10? One boneheaded tweet and that thing spikes 25%.
UVXY below $10. Volatility crushed.
my enormous UVXY position thanks you for this comment
Resisting the urge to full port UVXY calls on Monday
I bought SPY 285 calls for end of next week and 700s for the following Friday. Also bought 500 shares of UVXY to try and cover my ass (@ avg of
Are you and me looking at the same UVXY and SQQQ graphs???
It’s all good dude. I’m at 70k loss potential for SQQQ and UVXY right now. Hopefully market tanks soon
I hope I Made smart plays hedging today. At Least it feels safer having some UVXY calls and cash.
IBM & TSLA down, but not down enough. Expect a morning liquidation similar to today with a small reversal at some point. Holding UVXY and trying to add to my SDOW position but it keeps moving up. Tempted to buy SQQQ and SOXS but too risky, dip buyers are lurking.
why is no one buying UVXY? Could easily be 13 tomorrow morning
Yeah, thats why I used to sell naked calls on UVXY instead. I switched to SVXY to be "safer".
Yeah if I'm honest I kept buy shares when it got around 20-30% down. I had been accumulating shares for many years and also selling naked puts every week as well. Ironically, I switched to SVXY to sell naked puts because I used to sell naked calls on UVXY and I felt like SVXY was "safer". Well the daily rebalancing on SVXY made that not the case, and UVXY calls would have remained OTM at expiration. Only silver lining is over the years selling UVXY and SVXY calls provided a lot of income and the margin requirement at TD Ameritrade at the time was only $1.00 for every $1.00 in premium, so I was making 100% a week for a long time.
If the VIX peaks, I am selling UVXY calls.
That’s how I feel with spy puts and UVXY calls. It’s my fault for over extending myself. Taking these lessons seriously…..expensive but valuable…….sure it was a “rare” random event but fuck if there wasn’t mistakes made on my part. Be better daily.
Could work, but I think the big swing already happened. Tons of UVXY calls were opened last weds. Almost like these insiders know something 🤔
My massive UVXY position is telling me the exact same thing
5% - BITI 5% - BOIL 5% - UVXY That’s how I am hedging now. A lot of the UVXY I got at $10.40 a couple weeks ago. Boil is an undervalued commodity - natural gas. Biti shorts btc. You could get some SQQQ too but that has less chance of winning and is too leveraged to keep more than a few days.
We all know this shit aint done. UVXY calls for next week. Still cheap.
UVXY hit $15 overnight? Wtf haha
China tariff news turning this back green? Its like the gov't shutdown and potential liquidity crisis just get swept under the rug. Not to forget bitcoins recent cratering.. calls on UVXY is my move, this shit is as uncertain as it gets.
bought more Monday. the market just took them out back and shot them. thank god for UVXY and UVIX hedges
I noticed volatility picking up throughout the week so picked up some UVXY, SPXS, and SQQQ weekly calls. Will sell the rest of them today and pick up a few shares of VTI to hold for the long term. Only long term options I have are UUP puts. Not sure what next week will bring.
risky, and I don’t recommend but I’ve been timing UVIX, UVXY, SPXU, and even BITI for hedging against BTC I don’t hold for long, place stop losses (which unfortunately often just gets wiped out before changes direction) and I’ve been experimenting with buying stop orders at certain percentages kind of messy work but so far, it’s helped with stocks (not so much with crypto due to how fast/volatile)
Another day my UVXY n VXY r up, but the rest r bleeding
Are my puts I just bought on UVXY going to print tomorrow?
Im long volatility. UVXY finally having its day.
UVXY at the open tomorrow! Woo!
Question was about UVXY - hedging the portfolio against downturn 😢
Thanks, UVXY was spot on! Jan. UVXY calls jumped nicely 35% today. Could you please tell me - if it's something that I can hold for a month or two - assuming SPY continues to fall? Or does it suffer volatility decay like a leveraged ETF?
SPY puts, UVXY and GLD calls
who needs options when you can buy UVXY shares
Idm. UVXY save me, but the rest of my port was in a blood bath
Bolton on the choppIng block. Next up Obama. Buy UVXY FFS!!!
Everything is red for me today, except my UVXY
UVXY calls Peeps. $13 for Friday and Oct 24th. Still cheap!!!
Load up on UVXY calls Peeps. This volatility gonna be with us until at least 🥭 and 🐼 have their little sit down love fest. I also think the 🐉 gonna rattle the cage some more.
For myself, I bought UVXY sell some call on it. Bought some defensive etf. Then the rest keep cash. I know it sound boring. I would rather be bore then thinking I will be the first to get out of the exit while shit happen. Even though everyone will run to the same exit all at once .
Brother I traded like a ghey bare for 7 years straight. Gotta trade the market sentiment man… but keep the ghey bare tingly sensation and always keep 100 shares of UVIX and UVXY on standby
So I bought a bunch of UVXY, as that’s the thing that came up when I searched VIX on Robinhood How regarded am I? Is this greener as vix gets a boner?
I have found that my most cost-effective hedge has been being long volatility via some long-dated debit call spreads on an instrument like UVXY (entered when vol is low). It worked well this week.
