"BULL TRAP RALLY" is coming...!!! Are you prepared for Jackson hole.
The MonkeyPox is the new COVID. Time to shut it all down. PUTS on SPY. Calls on VIXY and Preparation H.
It's time to long the VIX; $VIXY supporting Thesis.
PSA: VXX will be, at some undetermined time, dropping in price to correct for Barclay's error. Advise is to not touch it. (VIXY is okay, not affected).
Help me I’m a retard when it comes to ETFs!! What is the difference between VIXY and VXX?
Serious question - why does VIXY / UVXY correlate to $SPY going down only and not actual volatility (as in, erratic movement, up AND down)?

Due to RR setting record highs and high short interest on a multitude of stonks, I believe a market crash is imminent. My solution? OTM VIXY calls 2 weeks from expiry.

VIXY up 4% and my calls only up 3%
If VIXY could go up another 5% that would be great.
You can break that rule if you play your cards like CITADEL and add hedging factor into your wheel strategy.. markets crash bonds increase.. so what does that mean? Cut your profit target 30% hedging it with TLT, VIXY,SH on the down side along with your favored stocks/ETFs on the upper side.
Just buy VIXY. Same result with better liquidity and spreads.

What's the deal with VIXY, that shit gna spike when the bombs fall or nah
yes. AI helped me replicate the Bridgewater and AQR strategies- Risk weighting with volatility based targeting model in Excel. I rebalance every day. The weirdest thing is that I ran VIXY through the position sizing engine for the orthogonality and it appears to have dropped the CAGR from -99% to -1% over a 5 year back test. I was perfectly happy having a left tail hedge for essentially free, but then I decided to test /VX instead and the results were insanely good. It ended up being even more profitable than QQQ over the backtest period. Had a MAR ratio of around 150% while being long Vol!!! I designed it using CoPilot and showed it to Claude and it responded with "holy shit" and both models independently of each other told me I could write and academic paper about it. kind of weird. I'm running it live now and my P/L ties out exactly to the projected model in excel every day... kind of hard to say if it's "profitable" yet given the volatility over the last week, but I mean, I'm tracking the model every day and the backtest at least is very strong.
Will VIX/UVIX/VIXY ever spike big? After liberation day theyre allergic to any movement
that's not the vix. it's a proshares VIX exchange traded note or fund (ETN/ETF) that seeks to match the performance of the short term vix futures index and the ticker for this instrument is VIXY but it is not the same as the VIX index. The vix index is one thing, then there are vix futures, and then VIXY is a managed fund that trades a collection of volatility instruments and I assume treasuries and other things to generate a return in line with its benchmark index. you really gotta be careful man. if you have specific questions feel free to ask but if youre looking for a rubber stamp on a "strategy" that has put more regards in the dirt than I could count then im not the one who is gonna be the seal of approval for this decision. you're better off forgetting you "saw something' and sticking to regular stocks. If you see this as some sort of challenge and dont take the advice, least you can do is read the prospectus for the shit youre about to trade and actually understand how it works before it works you instead.
Congratulations VIXY call holders.
VIXY might get interesting…
Are these FUCKING VIXY/UVIX calls I have stacked up like some hoarder finally going to move tomorrow? Christ enough with that shit being hammered down all the time.
Yeah, I'm already riding a bunch of UVIX/VIXY calls so I'm hoping that shit takes off too
I'll have what he's having with a side of Feb VIXY calls.
I will never not buy 3 week dated calls on UVIX/VIXY when VIX is this retardedly low.
Just stay calm. Short TSLA. Short long bonds. Buy VIXY. Buy SPY and QQQ again after the next 20% correction. EZPZ
Every morning I buy VIXY so I have at least one green boy in my group
VIXY, but time decay is built in.
What kind of dolt isn't loading up on VIXY/UVIX calls and shares right now? Holy shit, free money.
How does one get so retarded as to not buy VIXY calls dated 1-2 months out right now?
He is selling long vol. Look up the price of VIXY (US ETF) over the years and that's what he is selling you. I'll save you trouble it started at 1 000 000 now it's at 35.
Feeling good, loaded up on more SPY puts for next week, got some rgti puts, and some VIXY calls.
Hedging this rally. KMLM, CAOS, VIXY.
You can’t buy VIX index. You can only buy VIX futures and other products built on the futures or options on the futures. The futures have term structure that is generally in contango meaning they lose value as you approach expiration. This is why long VIX futures and funds (eg VIXY) constantly loses value over the long term even though average VIX level is relatively constant.
It’s just an option’s contract, calls and puts. There is a VX1 and VX2 and both are the 1 month and 2 month front dated VIX contracts that roll over. There is also volatility ETFs in UVIX, UVXY and VIXY that are different dated versions of VX1. you can be long and short volatility, just like a stock.
I've been buy & selling VIXY shares, getting pretty lucky with timing. My initial position was 200 shares at 31.80, sold at 33.80, re-entered with 100 shares at 32.20, current price is 35.48.
Google says alcohol consumption remains stable during hard times. What happens is that people shift to drinking more at home which is much, much cheaper. people already do the majority of their weed smoking at home, so the cheaper alternative is to either smoke less, or shift to alcohol, which is cheaper.... Bur go for it, and buy those weed stocks. :) I hope you get rich! As for me, Im selling CSPs against VIXY until SVIX hits 14, at which point I'll buy directly into that and sell covered calls against it until it gets back to 20.
I’m going so hard into VIXY tomorrow you’d think I’m a damned furry.
Told my wife I’m going to do some VIXY hedging tomorrow. She said that sounds gross. I said, “It’s not gross, it’s a market strategy when you anticipate near-term volatility. Gross would be, ‘Vixey Edging.’ And I’m doing that tonight.”
If it drops hard I might do a little VIXY hedging.
My VIXY hedge is +60%, do I sell yet?
this looks very tipy top, tippy tippy TOP! VIXY VIX IS BY BYE
If you’re under 40: 50% UPRO, 20% GLD, 20% KMLM, 10% VIXY. Do that and chill.
I’m just gonna quietly set an alert for a VIXY spike to $50…
JNUG right before it fundamentally broke, BTC right before it went from 60 to 20, most recently SVIX right before tariffs. Needless to say they’re all back and I sold at the bottom. Currently riding VIXY into the ground.
M WEN, CAG and VIXY positions are in this photo!
I don’t play VIX options directly (they decay fast), but I sometimes look at the ETNs around it (UVIX, VIXY, SVIX) for premium selling. As of 09/25, **30DTE/30Δ returns** look like this: * **UVIX (IV30 \~154):** Put ≈ **10.66%**, Call ≈ **8.84%** (3-mo avg: Put 8.21%, Call 7.41%) * **VIXY (IV30 \~70):** Put ≈ **1.98%**, Call ≈ **3.35%** (3-mo avg: Put 3.57%, Call 4.06%) * **SVIX (IV30 \~63):** Put ≈ **7.37%**, Call ≈ **7.99%** (3-mo avg: Put 4.32%, Call 3.03%) UVIX has huge premiums (and risk), VIXY is thinner/steadier, SVIX is interesting if you want to fade vol. I’d size small since vol products can rip hard.
you could buy VIXY instead; it's up even thought the market it up
Same - I’m short the market and in UVXY and VIXY.
667 Calls on SPY, 36 Calls on VIXY, either way I have to make money, right guys?
Wanted to buy more VIXY calls right before close but some clowns were trying to sell them for $1.30 and, of course, no one buying. Staring at my phone seeing "last trade 0.50" and these clowns trying to capitalize on fear by doing $1.50, 1.30, 1.00, 0.80, selling nothing.
Margin maintenance is lower on VIXY and I'm regarded
Picked up VIXY calls as hedges, waiting to see if anything else catches my eye.
VIXY December calls free monies
I’m keeping UPS, BMY & VIXY as an anchor and staying liquid
Do VIXY Jan 2027 $50 calls next.
I'm heavy on VIXY, probably gonna buy more. It probably won't print because the mega rich have immunized the market against losses, but still. The more retarded the market, the larger my insurance policy.
VIXY calls you say?
VIX is dead, VIXY calls it is. Sufficiently low for something retarded to happen the next few months.
Made the Clutch Move of buying VIXY at 11:16 AM
You can't get better than OTM 0-2DTEs (lotto), VIXY ATM calls or a SOXL straddle. Powell's address begins at 7 AM.
I bout a fat slab of VIXY right after the second coming of King Dumbfuck started getting real about 6 months ago. Portfolio insurance. Let it all burn.
Do VIX ETN's count? You can trade some of them like VXX but not VIXY even though they derive from the same instrument , /VX30.
VIXY will do well in a downturn and will offset the risk without a tax impact.
I mean, you can buy VIX puts or short VIXY, both which I've done when the VIX is definitely, uh, way the hell higher than $15 These bots really do just spit out stuff without conceptual accuracy.
I've been building a long position on VIXY at these low levels, I expect it to jump again and beat any value loss from the contango.
When I play volatilely, I usually roll with VIXY instead of VIX. Serious curiosity, which on do you prefer, and why?
near-expiry UVXY (or other VIX-tracking shit like VXX and VIXY) just in case taco does some stupid shit at the fed in the next 30 minutes
Just bought. Bought everytime when I got scared by the hypes. UVXY VIXY
Sure, time the crash with VIXY and then time the bottom, sell VIXY, take those gains and buy SVXY on the way up. That's all there is to it :o)
In the past, I've been consistently surprised by the under reaction of the market to government shutdowns and budget impasses when they happen. But one reason could be that there is often market turmoil in advance. When markets dip, they hit Congress where it hurts the most: their immense wallets; so if any bleeding starts they will probably compromise, fingers crossed, they've done it so far. As an individual and investor, I really hope whatever bill gets passed looks nothing like the BBB. I feel like at some point treasuries won't be able to take it, especially if we are paying other countries fewer dollars because of the regressive tax penalty and maybe some early signs of economic damage, sticky or possibly accelerating inflation, questionable R2k Q2 earnings. We'll get lots of spikes in the VIX over the next couple of years, but buying VIXY is usually an expensively bad hedging strategy, I haven't gamed out VIX futures. Anyway, still long but with a way bigger defensive/dividend barbell than usual. We are coming up on July 9th when a mean reversion is very possible. Banks will have good reports. Transport will probably be a really bad bellwether. But hey, that's a month out and maybe earnings will be great, like last quarter. But, M2 is great that money is going to go somewhere, and lately the dollar is a particularly bad place for it to be. Good for multinationals though.
Average down into VIXY. Relatively low contango, sell during the inevitable next spike.
Thanks but calls and strikes and things of that sort are out of my areas of expertise. I might occasionally put in a stop loss order for something like VIXY if I can read the tea leaves a bit in afterhours or premarket. I'm either going to sell off a portion (likely initial investment only), or just hold all for the longer term.
Knowing there’s probably gonna be a big drop what would you guys think about putting money short term in VIXY or VIXM to make so quick gains and pull out before market close on Monday?
I have a lot of VIXY. I wonder what Monday brings?
I have auto sell orders on VIXY shares to sell at $120. If a nuke goes off, it will spike beyond that and order will trigger.another summer of peaceful love, and it will rise to that level over course of week. Major earthquake in major USA city, same. Alien ship makes contact, same. XOM and imbby are nice because they pay handsomely on dividend. Pltr is just because Elon has trumps ear and their tech is next level data analytics.
Got it! Here’s a more casual, less polished reply: ⸻ Nice, that’s a good combo. PLTR’s been interesting with the gov stuff, and XOM always comes through on energy. Physical metals are a solid hedge. VIXY for short-term volatility makes sense—how long you planning to hold that?
No I was too chicken because I didn’t fully understand how VIXY depleted over time.
Made a quick $500 on a VIXY buy yesterday:-
on my broker I'm seeing VIXY at +13.6% and UVXY at +20.67%
let's see another +20% day on VIXY
Puts against VIXY . . . . . /s
VIXY seems decent today if you time it right
I'm always on the wrong side. I'm in VIXY right now, so you can easily reverse that and (probably) make a mint.
VIXY (what you can actually trade) still down
Vix is a proportional measurement of how gaping our collective assholes are. High vix=blown out. You can trade this commodity via ticker VIXY
Is my VIXY going to moon?
Is my VIXY going to moon?
Is my VIXY gonna moon soon?
Just VIX? Not UVIX, VIXY, VIXM etc?
AAPL and VIXY keeping me afloat. I don't deserve this
My VIXY purchase might cover my dumbass 0dte. Guys I should lose money today but there's a real chance I won't. This is not good. On a more serious note: bonds. bonds. omg.
Put a few tens of dollars into SVXY and VIXY out of curiosity and boredom. "Learn while doing" etc etc
Anyone looking at VIXY puts? what strike?
I definitely picked the wrong morning to buy VIXY; however, I plan on buying more shares once stocks stop surging to lower my cost basis. Overall I’m learning that timing the market is difficult to impossible.
me: sounds like a good day to be in VIXY considering the extra tariffs the market: get fucked
I bought the dip this morning. VIXY that is.
selling off my VIXY shares, one at a time.
