The VIX measures short-term volatility.
It signals the level of fear or stress in the stock market.
And spikes when fear is high.

UVXY provides 1.5x leveraged exposure to the VIX.
But for most traders, buying UVXY is not worth the risk.
That's because of an insane amount of decay.
In other words, in a regular year UVXY will drop about 90%.
It's disclosed in the prospectus that it's intended for short-term use.
That's because fear, one of the most basic human emotions, passes quickly.
UVXY also has a management fee of 0.95% or about twice the average expense ratio of other ETFs.
When added to the cost of decay, it can be a huge drag on long positions.
So when UVXY spikes, I love to trade against that fear.
By buying UVXY put options, which go up in value, when UVXY falls
→ something it's designed to do!
Last week I alerted subscribers to this trade 15 times.
14 of which were nice wins.
Works for small trades.

And bigger trades.

The bank contagion sparked the fear.
UVXY spiked.

All I had to do was try to time tops and buy UVXY puts.
Remember, put options go up in price when UVXY goes down.
The prospectus makes it clear, it's coming down and fast.
My only loss was when I rolled the dice on a $.06 cent lotto.

These are the types of trades I'm teaching subscribers.
