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.

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 so cheap now 
The Fed won’t be lowering rates and stocks are not going to like it. My UVXY and SQQQ is ready for it all
I’m trading UVXY. Should have sold today and bought back end of day but overall hedging something more likely than not happening that will crash the economy and market. I could be wrong. Yet all data and sentiment suggest I’m not. Key about UVXY is accepting decay and why best exit and buy back in or just wait for you know what to hit the fan. However, on weekends and holidays I’m making sure I own it because black swan events have a tendency to occur when markets inaccessible. Black Monday 87 taught me that.
UVIX, UVXY, SQQQ, SOXS—aging in reverse like Benjamin Button, but instead of growing stronger, they just keep shrinking. Their price erodes, reverse splits come like clockwork, and yet traders chase them, hoping this time will be different. They start fresh with a higher price, only to tumble once again, a cycle as inevitable as time itself—but in their case, time runs backward.
Don’t know what comes next but not expecting rate cuts based on expected inflation rising because of tariffs which seem more likely to persist then settle. Feds first mandate is inflation and then labor with latter likely deteriorating if tariffs cause a recession and renewed rhetoric of Powell getting replaced because Trump can’t control himself. Fact is I’m expecting that on Wednesday as it’s very likely Powell will be hawkish due to tariffs. Oddly the market seems to be pricing in rate cuts. Either driven by belief Trump will force the issue or wishful bullish but foolish thinking. Labor data this morning might just prolong the inevitable but expecting next two months to solidify my stance. Why I’m trading in and out of UVXY as I’m expecting more pain with no recovery until tariffs either bring victory, can be spun as if victorious or full blown recession takes hold because we’ve been told latter acceptable but not a depression. Only silver lining longterm yet once that snow balls start falling there’s no guarantee an avalanche can be avoided.
I trade based on the VIX mostly. That and Earnings ... mostly. I also like these: UVIX and UVXY.
The only thing I hold overnight are my DCA-into-UVXY plays if market has couple green days. Easy couple hundos here and there when the inevitable Trump dump happens. Also don't mind holding it long term for these potential VIX spike events: 1. Annexation talks -> military operations in Canada, Panama, and Greenland -> WW3 fears. 2. Ukraine refusing peace deals that involve giving up their territory 3. More bad economic data/earnings coming out. 4. Putin expanding his attacks to other former-Soviet-Union countries -> spilling over into EU -> WW3 fears.
Apple pls report partnership with UVXY
Playing out as we speak. Less import means port workers go home and don't spend, truckers stay home and don't spend and truck stops send workers home unable to pay them who stay home and don't spend unless META thinking their advertising base just increased by those with more free time on their hands yet metrics won't be supported once advertisers realize they reached a bunch of unemployed workers lacking funds to obtain that they peddled. I'm going to continue trading UVXY because that makes the most sense.
Buy calls on UVXY two weeks out, set your stop- limit order for loss prevention + upside capture target. Rinse, repeat.
Have you seen VXX or UVXY today? Made a brick in 30min of trading
Ahh yes UVXY calls rising from the grave
Options on VXX/SVIX/UVXY - options on an ETF based on futures of the volatility of the S&P500. More derivatives than calculus lol
I prefer CALLs on bearish ETF's over PUT's on bullish equities for the fact that the underlying price diminishes the Lambda on PUT's relative the the increasing value of a bear ETF. That said, UVXY calls will be spastic and you'll have to scrutinize open interest for a liquid strike/date... if you're hedging SPX, you might check out SPXS or SPXU CALLs as a 3rd option, be sure to calculate Lambda and factor the 3x underlying leverage.
SPY is about the anticipated movements of SPY. UVXY is a derivative of VIX which itself is a derivative index based on the options prices of SPX, so they're related, but implied vs. realized volatility is a much bigger part of whether you profit with UVXY.
UVXY options are not liquid, the bid and ask have a wide spread. Also, Think back to March, the SpY was down significantly without a big move in the vix. There were a lot of people that thought they were hedged with VIX calls and they were sadly mistaken, it’s not a proper hedge. Yes, there is a negative correlation between spy and vix, but it didn’t work well for the initial market decline. If you are bearish on SpY then trade spy
UVXY has been very profitable for me
They’re called inverse ETFs like UVXY or SQQQ.
Trade volatility. UVXY can make one wealthy should market crash because economy goes to crap. Recessions make wealthy wealthier.
I’ve been jumping in and out of UVXY since 27 March Plenty money made
Held UVXY hoping he'd get back to being mad vs reasonable. Latter not predictable. Don't need further confusion
Hopefully you learned a little about risk management. In your case, that meant closing the play after a couple sessions of uninterrupted hard bull/bear run and waiting for the next play opportunity to reveal itself, like the insane bull run we've had the past 3 sessions from tech and defense (this is why all these EU PM's are meeting with Trump behind closed doors) stocks. I only have a 150-UVXY position that I'm DCA-ing into as I wait for a more bearish tech earnings or more Trump insanity (like military operations in Canada, Mexico, and Panama -> WW3 potential) to come out to shake the market before making the next big play.
My current strategy consists of buying shares of UVXY (vix index) slowly when I see them falling. Ive been able to buy primarily under $30 per share. The current decay on option premium especially less then 1 week DTE is all a trap imo. You have to be really right to make any profit. This is bear country rn. Need some serious change to convert to bull land (Not financial advice. Just a guy tryna get ya a win)
Hopefully on UVXY
I'm holding UVXY waiting for the market to react as it should to this nonsense but SP500 just broke resistance. Perhaps I should seek another profession such as throwing crap at monkeys...
Which one of you greedy bastards wouldn’t sell me your 5/9 UVXY puts today? SPEAK UP
>He will speak at 5PM Time to buy my UVXY call every time he speaks
The spread on UVXY calls is absurd
Thinking UVXY puts exp next week. Someone talk me out of it
Just loaded up on gold and UVXY. Come on Orange-man, LFG!!!
It couldn't be. We can trade every situation. 👍💵 Selling of UVXY calls is also very nice. 😃
I think UVXY is a good play for anyone with the stomach to take a few possible short-term losses. We haven't seen the fireworks moment yet for this mess, but we will.
I should also mention UVXY with 1.8k VOL at 70 strike interval OTM, the underlying moved 51% so it was similar to this trade pretty much same duration. This one though was up 52,900% ($100 -> $53,000). However there was less volume around the buy so I think harder to have been filled. Still though, this would have been the perfect trade :D
UVXY can't cool down for it's life..
UVXY being bought like it's NVDA
I ate a hit on UVXY more than once. I'll say it's not the same as trading VIX or futures.
Thanks for being helpful in this cesspool lol. I will look into UVXY puts.
Use ChatGPT to help build a VIX call Spread. Most likely we will see high Vix spikes after July 22-26th on Major q2 earning reports and into August IMO. However something could happen between now and then too of course. You can hedge Vix calls with UVXY puts in the short term.
I saw a tic Tok suggesting 95% SOXL, with 5% TMF as a good balanced portfolio. That was enough research for me. Thinking of getting some this UVXY I keep hearing about too though.
You still have at least $47K—cut your losses now and don’t let the damage deepen! Forget what’s already lost—shorting UVXY in highly volatile markets is extremely risky. Volatility indices can spike several-fold. Just look at February 5, 2018: when the VIX surged sharply, many short volatility positions were wiped out overnight.
Knew I should have bought a tonne of UVXY on Thursday 🤦🏻♂️
This Congress hasn’t stopped him yet. They fear his hold over his base that will get them gone during primaries and those who opposed him in the past are no longer here. Hence this Congress won’t stand in his way and Supreme Court might and still he will likely ignore them. Who’s going to enforce what the courts deem lawful? He controls the DOJ. Best hope our country has is pain the likes of which we’ve never seen before and his base no longer powerful enough to affect the mid terms. Everything hinges on the mid terms and GOP already enforcing laws voted on my this Congress to ensure mid terms won’t be fair therefore why o say it needs to be so painful that all but his cult will turn on the GOP because it might take an actual impeachment to stop him and even then he might not leave. I’m trading UVXY before he turns that off because deems shorting unconstitutional wanting only the wealthy to profit by them knowing when he will crash the market and then rally off a tweet.
Bought UVXY and plan to trade that until mid terms or end of his presidency as all I'm expecting is more of what we've seen. Dump and pump. UVXY also protects me should market crash because his nonsense causes an actual recession and just technical or worse. When to buy water proof AirTag cases that previously bought for $15 and now $40. Glad to see other countries paying the tariffs. Can't stand winning... /s
You’re too late. Retail is always too late. Also UVXY leaps doesn’t make sense In my opinion, shares in bullish leveraged ETFs is the best play with cash to buy dips.
Just like anything, it really depends on what you're buying. I’ve got about 10% of my portfolio in the following LEAPS: GDX, GDXJ, GLD, SIL, URA, UVXY, and UVIX. As you can see, these are all ETFs — not individual companies. If we’re heading into a major downturn, I think these positions could be beneficial when money starts flowing out of the broader stock market and into safe-haven assets. Just my two cents.
UVXY hella barcoded today
Just realized you’re fish. Thanks for the info! I’ll be adding UVXY to my WL
That’s a great question. If I’m not mistaken, VIX expiry has to happen, I don’t think you can exercise them. I personally bid UVXY. But yeah it seems like they load up on .50c at a high rate & then rake it in.
UVXY looking like a shriveled up little wiener.
UVXY glued to 36 all day there's no event to worry about give me a break
Comon UVXY, fucking dump already
>You're missing options are mostly priced for perfection when it comes to expected move. Unless you have an edge wall street doesn't over time you'll be holding more bags than you're filling. With deep ITM options, the expected move is not a factor. You could argue that the underlying is priced efficiently, but there are still cases where deep ITM puts can be profitable (UVXY, VIX, SPXS, etc).
Moving most of my long term holdings to UVXY, he made the US a sinking ship in 90 days
Switched from SOXS to UVXY broader market bear and if needed shorting Russel 2000 futures. Might as well profit from this nightmare. Did during COVID although was late to the party yet learned my lesson about wanting vs flowing with it. No clue how to add a pick but if any interested let me know how and I'll drop in my chart analysis using Trading View. Past no guarantee of tomorrow but sentiment might closely align tomorrow as it did before.
UVXY is basically like other stocks, yeah easier to trade imo especially since the splits are done now
I feel like a far out UVXY straddle can't lose here.
Just like anything it depends on what you're buying. I have about 10% of my portfolio in the following LEAPS GDX... GDXJ... GLD... SIL... URA... UVXY. As you can see these are all ETFs and not particular companies. If a bad recession is going to happen I feel these particular ETFs will be winners for sure on the rebound. -my 2 cents.
UVXY spread is hot garbage
Glad I'm holding UVXY and UVIX calls expiring next week.
Wouldn’t ever short a VIX thingy personally, I think long SVIX longterm (to play counter swing) would be better or long UVXY (during volatility )
I tried UVXY recently by buying a put when VIX hit around 50. But I didn't realize all of the things to consider when trading it, like liquidity and wide bid-ask spreads. Heck at one point it was showing like 0.00 - 6.99 and had no activity. Maybe I just need to stick with puts on SPY.
Great question. I'm in Canada so I can't say. I just bid UVXY as it follows quite closely. (INB4 someone says it doesn't as per checking prior split)
I did a similar mistake when I was 38. Lost about $350K trading UVXY options. Which at that time represented about 95% of my retirement savings. Learned a valuable lesson… I was devastated just like you are right now. Couldn’t focus on anything. Was drinking for about a month… Then took some time to re-evaluate my investment strategy; implemented some heavy cost-cutting measures (got rid of bunch of subscriptions, worked to lower my bills - found cheaper alternatives, switched to other providers etc. Started buying cheaper food/groceries. Cooking at home, going out only once a month. Started driving Uber/Lyft part-time in addition to my normal daily job and putting ALL of that supplemental income towards retirement. Increased 401k contributions from 6% to 8.5%. 4 years later I slowly built back over 50% of what I lost back then. Yes, I’m 42 and way behind on my retirement goals… but I still have time. If I could do it (married, with two kids), you can do it, too.
I tried to buy UVXY puts, but some how IB won't let me or it don't have options... Although, if the price is managed by computered market makers I don't expect to change anyway, right?
Damn, my EOW UVXY calls are actually gonna pay out for once.
Load up your UVXY boys
well ever since UVXY spiked damn near to 34 it's just been STRAIGHT DOWN
lol UVXY works so hard to go up just the tiniest bit and then gets wiped like it's nothing
UVXY is almost ready 
it's going one way or the other. but i have a hard time believing it can go down when UVXY just keeps getting pulled down to daily lows
UVXY continues its march towards zero they will not let this market drop
UVXY new daily low, whatever it was that happened at 10:17 and 10:47 did fuckall
UVXY just cannot get off the mat that is 32
UVXY calls it is then 
Actually it’s true for the trade caused the loss, if I had hold the position till today it would be in profit. But the risk, and the cost of lower the risk of shorting UVXY calls are unacceptable at the time.
I bought some EOW UVXY calls today like a degenerate.
Lmao UVXY at the money weekly call down 82% and counting
You could’ve started the day with the UVXY 40 c (weekly) and be down like 70 percent.
I lost so much on UVXY puts last week even though I was ITM. I was a fool for not looking at that retarded IV because I switched to WeBull from TOS. Lesson learned 
I know some of yall got UVXY calls. That’s gonna be so so brutal.
dude, if UVXY drops below 25, I'm buying some for this rollercoaster
Giving us the opportunity for cheaper calls on UVXY, it's actually quite nice of them
UVXY I think. It’s 1.5x leverage. VXX is the 1:1 VIX ticker.
EOD Friday I grabbed a small stack of $35 strike UVXY puts. 🤞
DJT calls and WEN calls. I’ll be smart and hedge with UVXY calls
