Everyone and their dog knows that Volatility Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) like VXX & UVXY decay long term. The problem though for "Short Volatility traders" is that they also have huge price spikes during market crashes that can cost them ALL their previous profit. The VTS Volatility Trend strategy uses Broken Wing Butterfly Options to profit from the natural decay factor of Long Volatility ETFs with ZERO upside volatility risk.

I'm hoping tomorrow with the feds increasing rates this will cause huge volatility allowing uvxy to do its thing 🤑

[chrismcguiness]

I agree man. 93% of options each week are on UVXY calls lol. It’s legit manipulated down every week! It’s a money printer on puts

[maurohalpern]

congratulations from Brazil!!! this broken wing butterfly is the perfect strategy!! I am going to be your client

@VTS - Brent Osachoff - After subscribing to your channel, I tried to place a couple of trades using options on both VXX and UVXY. Also looked at SVXY. My experience was that getting the order filled was not easy, as liquidity on those options, especially longer term expirations, seem to be thin. Which expirations and underlyings for the Vol ETFs seem to work better for your strategies? Thanks a lot for your great insights!

I consider dipping in with 3k and dipping out and siphoning hundreds here and there

IDK what you did different, but the high pitching pinging noise is gone! Also, I'm loving the new animations and effects. I know they can take a long time to edit together, but they go a long way in making the video feel engaging.

Brent, I've watched this vid 4x and what I can articulate is that this is nothing short of brilliance.

If I may offer feedback, I'd say simply this: simplify.

I've always held a cash account, never margin, to circumvent PDT. Always long (net debit) p/c. It's abundantly clear, as of this very writing, that we're about to experience pain, and no shortage. In Macro context, what's the best way to position in the next 3-6m?

Already shorting every pop.

TY Kindly in advance.

How ironic. I just developed this idea on my own and this video popped up in my feed a month later lol

[richardmckinley]

Hi Brent: Love your insights as always. Questions: Canadians can't sell naked calls within RRSP or TFSA accounts so seems this can't be done in such accounts? If I do this in my regular margin account is there a way to avoid having hundreds of capital gains/losses transactions to enter into my taxes each spring?

Hey Brent, great video. Could you make a video on the wheel of fun strategy. It will be very helpful. Thanks!

[Nathan-islp]

Sell a short call? So...buy a put? Hi Brent. Fan and your material has obvious value. So, to make it short and plain, I trade a cash account. I only buy premium. What are the most profitable strategies, of course, given in the current context. And yep--all about context.

[jaimequinoa]

Hello Brent, how do you calculate de decay factor over a given period?. Many thanks

[lukyluukehfk]

What is about Put Selling to hedge the stock andl short vol strategies? Would you ever deliver the UVXY in your portfolio? If yes, when would you do it?

[iwanttohehe]

UVXY is american style expiration. In your experience shorting UVXY options what are the chances of an early assignment?

[MetaMikeG]

If I just wanted to purchase regular stocks and not options, would I still lose a lot of money if I sold and I wasn’t in a profit?? Considering I attempt a short term trade?

[kamran]

Would call credit spreads suffice, too?

[dannyzusa]

Didi VXX restart creating shares? Is it re-liable? Where the f is the class action suit.

[igor-fkvv]

Isn't the expected decay priced in the option chain ?

[parasjoshi]

I bought uvxy at 21 dollar should i sell it or wait for it to go up????

[ericwhitfield]

What if TOS tells me “it can’t be borrowed”?
