VIXY trade ideas

7/11/24 - $vixy - FYI... if it's unclear to you that this clown show market is going higher, sooner (call it in the multi-week timeframe) just look at VIXY today volatility remains unwilling to underwrite anything but higher AMEX:IWM remains juice OTC:GDLC has the ETH ETF catalyst imminent (next week!?) and by far my largest position rn (at 50% of my whole book) - have a few hedges on, but this is still mostly unhedged ( OTC:BITW has gotten the memo and trades 21% discount vs. GDLC at 31% discount to NAV) and you guys know the rest. if u have low conviction. just wait. every day brings new opportunities. you'll miss a lot of them. but it's better to take big swings when you have conviction than a trip to the batting cages. be well V

VIXY ready higher, in the silence of the running of the bullsVIXY is poised for a run now. Chyna inflation going to spike ours, and FED is watching they are fully aware. They may think they have a handle on US CPI but not Chyna's. And Japan still easing against the tide of others, just asking begging for more inflation there. While third world country's currencies failing, indicating huge inflation. And we print false numbers so the MSM can spread the better than reality news.... I could go on but the obvious will never become that to those dedicated and addicted to lies...

VIXY Bearish inclined Naked Calls 16 Sep ExpiryWhats The Plan/Trade/Thought This position is a hedge as it is Market wide bullish inclined However I gave it a good 39.7% distance from the strike to account for market volatility that I expect to happen especially with the Sep rate hikes Risk Mitigation The 39.7% distance from strike should cushion market volatility but also there are 2 near S&R lines at 14.28 and 15.31 Imagine Yourself Taking The Other Side The position feels like it is somewhat feeding into the bullish momentum we have been seeing in the past 2-3 weeks. But I do expect this to change Look For New Information Now that earns session is close to over, I am expecting the next few week to be somewhat mellow. At least until we hit the first weeks of Sep where traders start anticipating the rate hikes How Do I Feel Now I think this trade is cushioned enough with a good price balance Trade Specs Sold 240 Calls @ 0.22 Strike 19 39.7% to Strike BP Used: 60,480 Max Gain: 5198

VIXY Bearish inclined Naked Calls 22 July Expiry Whats The Plan/Trade/Thought Selling Calls on the VIXY goes against my market stance. But it has a good distance of 34.35% away from strike. Price action is ranging with the past volatility VIXY’s peak has still been below 24.65. Risk Mitigation There is a S&R lines at 24 There will be volatility and as such I have only purchased a small amount with a BP of 36k and I will be able to hold it even if it goes up by 3x I Feel No feelings Imagine Yourself Taking The Other Side The entire daily chart is ranging so in my opinion this is about being able to sustain the volatility Look For New Information Nothing here Trade Specs Sold 110 Calls @ 0.20 Strike 25 34.35% to Strike BP Used: 36K Max Gain: 5.5k

LONG LIVE THE VIX!!!! NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!!!!!The largest index in the world is overbought(RSI) on the daily timeframe with the MCAD extended to a 2+ year high. This same index is also nearing a pivotal point on the calendar(Sept), as of the last 2 years and several years before. Entering the VIX ETF shown in the subject of the publishing with quantities of 100 shares(at the end of market price shown today or $13.06 per share) and hedging by purchasing protective $14 Nov 16 22 PUT(s) for the ASK of $2.80(x100) would allow for a contractual exit(no slippage possible) with a small proceed offsetting the put cost, allowing for a theoretical stopped loss of 13-14% after fees and put cost(s) so long as the put contracts are equal in size to the equity position... if correct and the long equity position starts to appreciate, the protective put could expire worthless(due to poor management) and be considered a fee in the trade, increasing the cost basis from $1,306.00 to $1,580.65 making the breakeven for the protected position $15.81 per share at a worst case, or about half way up the current structure to the POC shown and derived from the current weekly range. You could put that on and sleep soundly with comfort rooted in mechanics, or you could simply enter the equities with no protective put as a hedge and simply manage the position with the possibility of slippage, but you cant sleep in the unprotected position. If you want to further complicate this one for the sake of generating income along the way to the finish line and/or mitigate potential losses in addition to the protective put, sell weekly COVERED calls (with strikes above your entry out of principal). Selling an OTM call with a strike just above that weeks range (this strike will change each week with the price action) all the while under your longer term profit target for the underlying equity (say $19 near the POC) would obviously limit upside in the event of getting called in one of the weekly call ventures, but is a smaller win a loss? or still a win? ;) The answer you find should tell you how greedy you are. NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!!!!! According to TD, the net asset value is over $22 while the share price is only $P

VIXY Bearish inclined Naked Calls 17 June Expiry Whats The Plan/Trade/Thought For some reason the VXX options contracts seems to require a lot of Margin/BP to develop a decent premium. As such I decided to look at other VIX related ETFs and found VIXY well priced and from my research has a closer correlation with the VIX Over the past year of trading options i’ve come to realised that I’m really trading volatility in the different sectors. This trade is my hedge trade and while I believe we are in a bearish situation now, I believe we will be ranging at least for the time being. Hence I am somewhat not directional with VIXY Risk Mitigation I have two S&R points for this trade with the key S&R 1 at 26.64. This will be my guard rails and reaction points for risk mitigation I Feel I feel comfortable on this trade, I’m somewhat still feeling the effects of last month. But I cannot let that influence me Imagine Yourself Taking The Other Side This is a possibility given that I am not directional but I could only mark one S&R point Look For New Information By selling Calls, I am accepting that there won’t be a steep reversal How Do I Feel Now Clear on why I have taken this trade Trade Specs Sold 255 Calls @ 0.27 - Strike 27 46.26% to Strike BP Used 85K Max Gain $6630
