With SpaceX debuting on the Nasdaq and a record-setting $75 billion raise, options traders face a unique volatility event. Lucas and Luna break down how retail traders can approach IPO volatility using SPX hedges, the VIX spike, and the VVIX contraction to manage tail risk. They discuss the S&P 500's implicit bet on SpaceX via index funds, the skew shift in single-stock options, and why the current VIX term structure suggests the market is underpricing the IPO's ripple effects. The episode also covers specific strategies like gamma scalping around the IPO day and using put spreads to hedge downside without overpaying for premium. A must-listen for anyone trading options in this environment.

On this episode of Options Trading with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna unpack the volatility risk premium—the persistent gap between implied and realized volatility that options sellers have exploited for decades. With the VIX at 20.94 and the VVIX surging 11.7 percent in the past week, they drill into why the premium tends to be positive over time, how retail traders can structure short premium trades without blowing up, and the brutal lesson of August 2024 when the premium evaporated. Specific numbers, specific dates, and a concrete framework for harvesting theta—including why the VIX futures curve matters and what the Cboe's own data reveals about the edge. No fluff, just the mechanism.

This episode of Options Trading with Fexingo dives into the volatility risk premium—the persistent tendency for options implied volatility to exceed realized volatility.

They also touch on the VVIX at 107.55, up 25.4%, as a warning sign for premium sellers.

Using current data (VIX at 20.17, VVIX at 95.81), they explain how traders can sell premium to collect theta while managing tail risk. The discussion covers the VRP's historical average, how the VVIX signals expensive options, and practical considerations like the recent Kalshi 'perps' launch.

Episode 40 of Options Trading with Fexingo dives into a practical angle many retail traders overlook: using the VIX futures curve not just as a fear gauge, but as a timing tool for entering options positions. Lucas and Luna break down the current curve shape — spot VIX at 18.29, first-month futures near 19, second-month around 17.5 — and explain what contango and backwardation signals mean for a trader deciding whether to sell premium or buy protection. They walk through a concrete example on SPX options, showing how the steepness of the curve can improve or hurt your theta collection. No abstract theory; just a live-market framework you can use this week. Recorded June 9, 2026.

In this episode of Options Trading with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dissect the VIX premium as a directional trading signal. With the VIX jumping 19% in five days to 18.77 while the S&P 500 dropped 2.7%, they explore how retail traders can use the gap between VIX futures and the spot index to bet on volatility direction. Using real data from June 8, 2026, they walk through a calendar spread on VIX futures that profits from the premium decay. They compare this to the VVIX's milder 2.9% rise, explaining why the vol-of-vol index signals a less panicked market. The episode also touches on why the May jobs report upended rate-cut expectations and how that fuels the current premium. No prior options knowledge beyond basics needed.

With the VIX surging 27% in five days to 20.02, Lucas and Luna explore how options traders can use the VIX premium—the gap between VIX futures and spot VIX—to make directional bets on volatility. They break down the mechanics of contango and backwardation, using the current spike as a case study. The hosts discuss why a rising VIX doesn't always mean panic, how to size a short VIX position when the term structure is in contango, and what the VVIX at 102 tells us about tail risk. Includes a concrete walkthrough of a VIX call spread trade and a look at why the May 2026 jobs report triggered the move. Perfect for retail traders who want to go beyond just buying puts when markets sell off.
