Greeks will kill you in options I buy UVXY and keep it as a rainy day fund to hold cash while its low and accumulate and when it goes up everything else is down. i think you have the right idea, just watch the greeks
Tried for years to play VIX options. My best year was up a few hundred dollars, my worst year was down several thousand. I finally gave up and realized that, maybe more than any other derivative in the market, making money on VIX is almost completely luck and exceptional timing. The only thing I’ve ever consistently made money on was buying puts several months out and several strikes deep ITM on $UVXY when there is any significant spike in vol. $UVXY is, by its nature, designed to go down over time. So well-timed puts can make you money. Fairly deep ITM to negate some of the extrinsic premium
You are right I completely forgot about skew. Totally agree we would be at a 12 under more normal situations. On the flip side we can pop to mid 20s in an instant. Ive been buying UVXY 7 DTE .4 delta calls on Fridays with decent success lately but definitely not dropping 50k on vol products haha.
Just a follow up on US market Friday 6/5, likely US market put in an upward correction today, coming under Friday’s lows probably will beget another upward correction with today’s top resistance. However if a new low is not made and the indices rally above the 61.8% of the decline that will leave a 3 wave correction and indices will head to new highs but I’m not betting on that. Stock market cycles peaked to the top of the graph a day after the cycle peak last Wednesday. Both the Dow and Russell made new high and while NDX are SPX previously did so. UVXY a VIX instrument put in a new multi-year low last Thursday then made a sharp upward reversal Friday. Stock cycle is down hard into October but the Dow and Russell appear to be incomplete to the upside so there’s a conflict there that needs to be resolved. There is support around for SPX around the 6900-7000 area should this only be a correction rather than a change of trend.
I’ll take one for the team and buy 1 UVXY 6/12 Call at market open. Guaranteed bull market after that
UVXY would be a lot "safer" to do this with
"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..." -UVXY
Probably your last chance to buy 2028 UVXY 3C at almost the same price as a September 2026 3C.
It's nice to win some of them is all. Don't worry I'm right there with you. My +20% UVXY bet will probably not hit.
You declaring I'm wrong after mere days is hilarious. I wouldn't even trade options that short-dated. lmao. It's been a couple days. Did you even see last night's trading. Did you see QQQ today? Are you purposefully ignoring that the market is red for the first time in a while, and it happened soon after my comment? Buddy, no offense, but I've probably been trading $UVXY, $VXX, and following the VIX longer than you've been of age. It's one of the most complicated products on the market, and you waltz in here like "HUR DUR IT'S THE FEAR INDEX" like you read one CNBC article.
UVXY LEAPs are going to surge. Nothing is stopping the bond meltdown.

Did anyone else here attend UVXY?
We’re in the euphoria stage. Think it can keep doing this for a year straight? Doubtful. I’m loaded up on UVXY and SQQQ and MUD. Let’s go Iran baby!
VIX is down 1% while UVXY is down 4% and UVIX is down 5%
Donald Trump please save me and my SQQQ SOXS UVXY bets bless up
Buy UVXY if you think that. You're probably wrong though.
I bought SOXS SQQQ and UVXY I hope you’re right
SLC and UVXY. So losing money either way
I scalp using shares of UVXY. Tbf, it doesn’t move exactly the way VIX does.
The big USO and UVXY dump at 10am made me think a big announcement/move was coming and I bought into QQQ 0dtes quickly. Now I'm just begging for a way out!
I received one of these a year or two ago. And I didn't lose money. Probably saw me shorting the heck out of UVXY and thought I was an idiot (I was).
back to people needing money for Memorial Day weekend...$UVXY safe bet today.
Short ? oil stocks ? UVXY ?
How come UVXY isn't poppin off?
Thought I was smart buying UVXY shares today Nope 🙃
SPX and NDX making new highs today but DJIA and RUT look bearish. There are numerous bearish divergences developing that after a small correction and then another new high may be the end of this move up. Bearish divergences: Fewer stocks participating in this rally. Advance-Decline line deteriorating These indices at or above the Bollinger Band associated with tops. Correlation Index deteriorating VIX hasn’t made a new low in 2 years, VXN no new low in months, SVXY not making new highs, UVXY hasn’t taken out it’s low in couple of months since the February stock market highs, HYI (Junk Bond etf) is also not making new high that strongly correlates to stock indices along with SVXY (short VIX or Volatility) Sentiment Index at levels associated with tops 77+. SPX and NDX both in a 3rd wave advance of a 5th and final wave off the 3/30/26 low. All is needed for this 3rd wave to complete, a 4th wave correction, then a final 5th wave of 5 up. Thereafter a larger correction should ensue. The bearish development of both the Dow and the Russell (RUT) will drag down the other indices eventually maybe by week’s end or early next week. Time to lighten up portfolios!
Did Baron just full port UVXY?
Large UVXY volume going through
I was told green UVXY means red SPY yet I am only seeing green everywhere
Did you see the PCE? CPI on Tuesday. Into UVXY, then back into LETFs.
UVXY and VXX. Usually sell call spreads while in contango. Small position sizes for risk management. If there's a spike, I will usually keep the short and ride it back down again. Cannot overemphasize the importance of risk management and position sizing if you try this.
#TLDR --- **Ticker:** SPY, QQQ, CCL, RCL **Direction:** Down (Plummeting faster than your blood oxygen levels) **Prognosis:** Buy SPY & QQQ June Puts, long VIX/UVXY, and hoard Clorox (CLX) & Campbell Soup (CPB). **Catalyst:** 2026 Hantavirus Cruise Ship Boogaloo (Bat Soup 2.0) **OP's Mental State:** Full 2020 Doomer PTSD Speedrun
UVIX and UVXY depending on your risk tolerance
Is UVXY best for VIX shares?
Take a look at UVXY daily short volume yesterday Lowest in a long time Good luck
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.
I'm riding UVXY for 10K, don't kill me lord 🥭, please.
UVXY is made to be a short arbitrage position for proshares as UVXY buys the underlying futures but the broker sells the futures short to the actual ETF you have better odds buying a debit call spread on VIX.
Thanks, you too! UVXY did me good, and the iran war was a minor correction compared to a Taiwan war, like you were saying.
I'll definitely have cash and when the time comes UVXY 😌
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.
UVXY taking the little blue pill.
I'm loading up UVXY for protection, this rally is insane!
vm, the calls are on UVXY and i've already lost so much i think i'm gonna let them ride and just slowly watch it go to 0 like a sinking ship. theres some beauty in that, right?
Is UVXY the best for VIX shares?
$60k in UVXY ready for black Monday, I’d even take a dark gray Monday
LETF cannot lose more than invested. Not sure where people get that notion. Futures and shorting individual stocks can have you owe more than invested. SPXS or UVXY can both short the broader market although SPXS is direct relation to the market vs UVXY based off VIX futures and might not run same as the market in a crash. Study contango and backwardation from front month vs second month. It also has more decay than SPXS which means you can hit zero much earlier. Stop loss can minimize losses and probably prudent when shorting for an extended period yet I don’t understand why one would go this route and not exit soon at market rebounds because these days these pulls backs might last days or weeks and this isn’t 1999 again. Better off going to a casino and you get free drinks and hot ladies holding your dick and leaving lipstick on your face.
Today is the sell the news event, look at VIX only down 2% and UVXY is about to turn green. QQQ is green but underperform vs peers.
Why I chase the bottom with inverse words need based ETF or UVXY. If I’m wrong. Sell and buy back next apparent bottom at lower price and more shares with same capital. I’ll eventually guess right then profit when rug pulled.
go all in on UVXY tomorrow if you want free money. Mango is gonna go ballistic the next few months to do everything he wants to do before he get wiped out in the midterms. All in UVXY

I shorted semis. Perhaps I should bought UVXY instead. Easy enough fix. Regardless. I win.
I bought UVXY and SQQQ last week so market is def green tmrw
Lol even my UVXY puts that expire next Friday are down. There's no escaping this theta decay.
I locked myself out of options to not lose too much money. Bought UVXY instead 🥴
So do I lower my cost basis on these UVXY shares or just ride this shit out?
Lately my play has been the VIX, mostly through buying and selling $UVXY Basically just checking in to see if WSB crew has seen anyone go down that path and come out alive? I got a few decades of life in my future if things work out, just checking if this $UVXY will shorten my life expectancy. I mean liberation day put $UVXY over 100 for a few months, it is currently at 48, it swings up, and it swings slightly down. But for the most part, since the beginning of the war I seem to be able to count on a swing up over 50 each week. I buy shares for the most part, sometimes options. Options are pricey, wish I was selling them instead of buying them. But 100 shares of UVXY is real money for a foolish momentum gamble.
> How do you trade chaos? UVXY, VIXY, VIXM
I’m just going to ignore the fact that you’re asking this question like the US market is the only one that exists. Asia is trading right now. Nikkei, Hang Seng, ASX are all live. Middle East exchanges trade on Sundays. Tadawul, Tel Aviv, Dubai. Forex never closes. Crypto never closes. E-mini S&P futures on Globex open Sunday 6PM ET. European pre-market is pricing in moves hours before NY wakes up. CME oil futures are already reacting. Gold and bonds caught the safe haven bid on Friday’s fear and now reverse on Sunday’s de-escalation. Two moves, two trades, same weekend. Volatility spiked on the escalation, so whoever sold premium into that panic on Friday profits massively on the IV crush Monday. VIX products like UVXY and VXX get obliterated on a gap-up open. Whoever shorted vol over the weekend prints. Credit default swaps on defense, energy, and sovereign debt were repricing OTC in real time all weekend. You escalate on Friday after close, let the fear cook all weekend, let every retail trader panic-set their Monday morning orders. Every stop-loss and limit order sitting on the book is visible to market makers. They know exactly where the liquidity is before the bell even rings. Then you leak a de-escalation on Sunday so the algos can scrape the headline and reprice futures in milliseconds while the smart money front-runs the entire move across every open exchange before US retail even wakes up. The people who move markets don’t need the NYSE bell. They have futures, overseas desks, Globex access, headline-scanning algos, OTC desks, FX desks repricing every USD pair in real time, and dark pool positioning before you even open your brokerage app. You don’t.
* UVIX * UVXY * VXX * SPXS * SDOW I believe in diversity.
My UVXY vanity license plate has been approved, now I just need VIX to skyrocket Monday so I can afford the car, but not the oil.
UVXY shares held & MESM26 futures sold
Agreed! Calls on SPXS and UVXY
Tonight’s war status speech can go one of two ways. I’ll wait to decide which way I go. Rally SOXX or rally UVXY. Either way I’m going to profit from it sitting on cash vs hoping I had already guessed right and past few months including liberation day has shown me not once have I guessed right.
UVXY/SQQQ/etc, look to other indices when volatility/SPY is high. Obviously be careful cause some I named are leveraged
Went UVXY… So far so good..
Commodities and/or companies that make shit loads of money when their commodity goes up. And fuck your stupid precious metals. I'm talking Oil, NG, Aluminum, Copper, etc. You can also buy volatility. VIX, UVXY, etc. And war stocks. Look up who makes bombs and jets and high tech infrastructure whatnot for the US/NATO. They're about to fire up some fresh orders from force attrition if nothing else, and possibly way more with real, sustained escalation. Finally, short big tech and other high beta recessionary targets. SQQQ calls, puts on the MAG7s, or smaller tech companies that are critically reliant on cheap debt. Inflation = no rate cuts = big sad for unprofitable growth stocks.
When would VIX be worth shorting if this shitshow continues? 40? 50? It's approaching dangerous levels and I smell some solid profit with a well timed short on UVXY
I am holding small gamble positions like UVXY over the weekend speaking of leveraged. Good way to lose money fast though.
Energy, Metals, UVXY, and VIX.
I bought UVXY puts for next week because he seemingly says something whenever the markets get too spicy. Literally just vibes.
Only just started to refill on UVXY and it’s already getting close to the April tariff tantrum levels.
What about an inverse fund like UVXY as a hedge?
UVXY/VIX having a +2.5% bump in overnight is not concerning at all
What going on with UVXY?
UVXY at $56.17 LOL Expect VIX to have a nice jump at open
I do Covered Calls on leveraged ETFs and it works very well for me. I'm actually shocked that many people don't do it. It requires a lot more activity and management. I do the management daily. I have plenty of time. It pays me more than my previous job and I love it. If you want to set and forget or do 30+DTEs, it won't work well. I have weekly expirations. I sell Covered Calls with anticipation that prices might drop, I take profits early by buying back and cashing out premiums, ... Etc. I trade both SOXL and SOXS, TQQQ and SQQQ, TNA and TZA, UVXY and SVIX, ... I love it.
It's bouncing off oversold levels. I noticed it's going up on below average volume I noticed above average volume on inverse etfs, SPXS, SQQQ,SDOW as well as VIX etfs, like UVXY. This is all bearish, but you have in it to win it, so I'm holding through this volatility
UVXY up and micron up. Microns definitely has some slammers saved for Wednesday.
USO and UCO don’t own oil. They own futures contracts that they roll every month. In contango (next month’s contract costs more than this month’s), every roll is a guaranteed loss — sell low, buy high, repeat. That roll cost runs 2-3% per month, compounding to 20-30% annual drag. This is how USO returned only 15% over three years despite multiple oil spikes. UCO is 2x worse because it doubles the roll cost AND adds volatility decay from daily rebalancing. In a choppy market, which a war-driven oil market absolutely is, a 2x leveraged product can lose money even when the underlying goes up. Day 1: oil +5%, UCO +10%. Day 2: oil -5%, UCO -10%. Net: oil -0.25%, UCO -1.0%. That asymmetry compounds relentlessly. If you want to express a bullish oil view without contango eating you alive, look at equity proxies: XLE, XOP for broad energy, or individual E&Ps like EOG, AR, EQT that own physical reserves and benefit from higher realized prices without the roll bleed. Or if you want the short side of the oil shock, play the countries that can’t survive $100 oil INDA (India) imports 90% of its crude, half through Hormuz, and is at its 52-week low with record capital outflows. The worst thing you can do is buy UCO thinking you’re “leveraged long oil” and hold it for months. That’s not a position — it’s a donation to the futures curve. I learned the hard way playing with MSTU and UVXY until I did the math, they always went down harder and bounced back weaker so not really 2x
That's crazy I was just in a deep dive with GPT about backwardation in the VIX. This is where we ended up: * SPX below the gamma flip (\~6,914) * Current state: 6,838 * Dealers are in negative gamma territory. * Right now, we are in Step 1–2, pre-flattening → fragile, but not panic mode. * The curve is close enough that small SPX shocks could trigger Step 3, where UVIX reacts violently. * 6. Early warning signals * Watch these closely: * SPX drops \~1–2% intraday → triggers negative gamma amplification. * VIX rises >28 while M1–M2 spread <0.5 → indicates flattening → near backwardation. * UVIX/UVXY volume spikes → real-time sign leveraged products are entering the cascade. * SPX OTM put buying accelerates → dealers forced to hedge → reinforces volatility. * These align with historical patterns that precede volatility bursts rather than full crashes.
Bought USO and UVXY when Polymarket insiders signaled this attack was a certainty. What a ridiculous timeline this is for "investing"... and everything in general.
