If you have access to 100:1 leverage, yes, you can. Higher leverage makes the trade slightly safer by keeping more of your margin (the funds you've deposited) available. Just make sure you're selling the number of contracts shown in the spreadsheet and not more (unless you deeply understand what you're doing).

Hi Simon - the Amex Cobalt gives you 2x points on gas, so I'd definitely go for that. It'll be much better for you than your current WestJet card. Link in the description.

@jrdnbshp Thank you for the reply.

Why isn't the spreadsheet available? It works when I click the link.

Agreed - there are lots of opportunities to trade the VIX profitably. I recommend opening an account and using Demo Mode to get a better feel for exactly how it works, if you haven't already.

Hi Fernando, I can tell that you’ve thought about the strategy quite deeply. Let me answer your questions: 1. Yes, that’s correct. 2. Yes, that is ideal, and it’s what many people (myself included) did earlier in August when the VIX jumped up for a brief period. 3. Yes, you could set it to $70 to decrease your risk even further, though based on my calculations, $55 was enough to be extremely risk-averse while keeping your returns high. But if you want to decrease risk even more, you can increase it to any number you want. Hope it helps, Fernando.

@@jrdnbshp Thanks for the quick reply Jordan, much appreciated :) and yes I've been studying this a lot! There is still one thing I cannnot fully understand yet and worries me, it's related to the overnight fee/SOFR: 1) I see on capital that "sell" overnight fee = (SOFR - Capital daily fee). I am studying SOFR to better understand how it moves and what affects it, since if SOFR is low this strategy greatly suffers. Looking at SOFR historical data I see that now is pretty high, and projections say it should rise. But the way it moves, and if a long-term period of low SOFR is a possibility, this is still not clear to me. 2) "sell" overnight fee is positive for us now that VIX is low, since most people bet on "long". But if VIX were to spike up then "sell" overnight fee would become negative (as most people would "sell" it). Is this what determines if the "sell" overnight fee is positive or not, what the majority bets on ? Thanks, Fernando PS: Yes I agree with your analysis that $55 is a very safe price target to use, and your excel table is very very helpful. It's just that if I invest a substantial amount I prefer to be super cautious, just looking for small safe gains!

Hey Fernando - in my experience with this strategy over the past 12+ months, SOFR doesn't seem to influence it. Perhaps Capital just changes their rate to make SOFR irrelevant - or something else - but I've never had to pay much attention to it. I don't know exactly how Capital determines their overnight fee, and I don't think they're public with that knowledge. Anecdotally you're correct that when the VIX rises the short position overnight fee falls, but for the very vast majority of the days I've tracked (well over 95% of days), it's been positive. Have you opened an account yet? I'd strongly encourage you to start testing the strategy in demo mode to get some hands-on experience, if you aren't already. You'll learn a lot that way - that's how I developed the strategy myself. Cheers, Fernando.

@@jrdnbshp Hi Jordan and thanks again for the second reply. Yes I've had an account on capital for 6 months already, and I tested your strategy for the last 4 weeks ish (so far so good, works smoothly as you described it :) Just worried that this strategy might work only if SOFR stays pretty high (like it has since start of 2023). This strategy just seems to good to be true to work all the time under all conditions, just checking if it has some weaknesses! Thanks a lot again and I won't bother you anymore, your replies have been much appreciated man. PS: if you go on capital and type "What is the overnight funding fee?" you can check the info about SOFR and how they calculate overnight fee

In the video it he says you get a pass to the maple leaf lounge with air Canada flights with a “companion” can you confirm if that is correct? Can my wife enter the lounge with me if I have a reserve card?

@@The1980toyota yes so just go to the counter to register your wife as a guest whenever you fly with her. This also works at the air Canada cafe. You will have to show your card. This works when on a star alliance flight as well. Just be aware with the maple leaf lounges in the US as some staff reject this policy and aren’t trained on it. I didn’t even get in as a main cardholder when I was on a united flight even though I called Amex and they talked to them.

@@matttm3 thanks, I’m sure I’m gonna have a large learning curve. On paper the insurances look like they have us totally covered. I hope they stand behind it. Cheers

Yes, you could lose your entire $1,000, though for that to happen, the VIX would need to increase $40, since $40 x 25 contracts = $1,000. You can never lose more than what you have deposited. Here's what happened earlier this month: the VIX increased to $36 and then dropped back down to where it is now. A lot of people made a lot of money shorting the VIX over the past few weeks, and they continue to earn very strong overnight fees on those winning positions right now.

@jrdnbshp Thank you for your reply, I am still a novice in this however would like to learn more. I have watched many of your videos but still trying to understand some concepts. In this circumstances as you have mentioned, at $36 would this same strategy still work? I assume the overnight fees would be greater as the vix drops? This would also value this position much higher once it has dropped lower, would it be better to hold or then close and take that profit? Ultimately I would like to gain a greater understanding on how to eventually earn an income from using some of these strategies. My rough calculations on scaling this by still being conservative could potentially do this if I invested more, however it's a patience game and i want to learn as much as I can to ensure success. Much appreciated your responses and videos, thank you kindly

Hey Lewis, if you haven’t already, watch this video I made about the VIX: ua-cam.com/video/SYOzx6Xqohs/v-deo.html It answers many of the questions you’re asking about, and shows you a slightly different strategy for trading the VIX - a strategy that's been extremely profitable during the market volatility we experienced earlier this month. I think you’ll find it pretty insightful.

I've withdrawn many times, and withdrawals are free.

Hi Leonard - for you, I'd recommend not using easy leverage for now, because I think you have quite a bit to learn before doing anything with leverage. I'd recommend spending some time in demo mode and only start making very small trades ($1, $5) in live mode when you're ready. I don't want you to make a mistake and lose some money. Good luck.

@@jrdnbshp hi thanks for the reply easy leverage means? using 100:1? 3:1? i dont understand.... which position should i hold? i followed the video but everyday in my demo acc its just adding 2 cent 12 cent on a 1000$ acc and the p&l goes up to quite high so i am concerned if my overnight fees cannot cover the p&l and whether these cents every day can earn me anything

The overnight fees you're receiving are currently 0.55% per day, so you should be earning a lot right now. As for leverage, I personally use the highest amount of leverage possible (often it's 20:1), since that makes the trade slightly safer by keeping more of your margin (the funds you've deposited) available. Just make sure you're selling the number of contracts shown in the spreadsheet.

Thanks, Adajio. I've got a few more VIX-related videos on my channel, make sure you watch those if you haven't already. They lay out some pretty clear (and profitable) strategies for trading the VIX. Good luck, let me know how your trades go over the next few weeks.

Hey Kelvin, glad to hear my videos have been helpful for you - the last 1-2 weeks have been extremely profitable for all of us haha. To answer your question, these trades aren't the same as buying a stock, where there's always a seller on the other side. That's part of the reason this method of trading is so much more predictable than trading stocks; since we're dealing with a derivative, investors can't impact its price directly. (Think of how a derivative works in calculus, if that helps you at all.) Keep me posted on how things are going!

None. I withdraw whenever I want, and the funds are back in my bank account within ~2 days.

Hi Leonard, there's a link to the spreadsheet in the description.

thanks! can u suggest other shares to invest in?

I don't pick stocks, so unfortunately I can't. But here's another strategy that's been working well for a lot of people lately - maybe you'll find it interesting too: ua-cam.com/video/SYOzx6Xqohs/v-deo.html

@@jrdnbshp like example how do u choose the stocks that u are buying? for overnight fees i dont think bitcoin is good i want to try on the demo account and see whether it works

hi if my profit is 10$ without the overnight fees should i cash out?

Yes, that's correct, and that's why I recommend the strategy I outline here. You make a series of small trades rather than one large trade because that keeps your risk significantly lower. Setting the stop losses protects you against the possibility of the VIX increasing while you're in the trade. It's all about minimizing risk. Plus, you only enter the trade when the market is highly favorable, which helps to protect you as well. I suggest trying it out with a demo account - it'll help you wrap your head around how the trade works. Link in the description.

@@jrdnbshp At the Moment the VIX is at 16, which is very low. So i don't think it is worth to sell now?

I know more than a few people who locked in some nice profits riding the VIX down over the past 2 weeks or so, following the strategy in this video. Did you get in as well? Now is a great time to be Overnight Fee Harvesting. I saw you commented on another video about that, so I'd recommend looking deeper into both strategies if they sound like something you want to try.

Yes, though I encourage you to use demo mode (fake money) to test it out for yourself so you can see that it works. Then you can see firsthand proof based on your own actions.

The third Link isn't working😢

It works when I click it.

Glad I could help, Charleen.

When the VIX spikes quickly like it did about a week ago, the short position overnight fee may flip to negative. This is normal, and it will go back to positive very soon. This does NOT mean you should buy now. It just means you'll pay fees for a few days and then continue receiving them later on. Like I mentioned in my other comment, if you watch my video on trading the VIX (currently titled "How to profit from market volatility (using the VIX)"), you'll learn a very simple strategy that shows you exactly how to earn some pretty substantial profits from the VIX in situations like these. And the past week has worked out exactly like the other scenarios I show in that video: the VIX has spiked quickly and fallen slowly, which has created an easy opportunity to profit. Here's that video, I hope it helps: ua-cam.com/video/SYOzx6Xqohs/v-deo.html

@@jrdnbshp One last question about VIX. Does the price that you sell for affects the over-night fees? I just sold VIX 4 days ago above 19 now it dropped under 17 USD. The overnight fee is still negative tho. I don't know if I should buy now and just sell when the fee is positive?

Nice move! You obviously made a nice profit on that - I did the exact same from 25 down to 16 over the past 10 days or so. Personally, I'd keep the positions open and wait for the fees to flip back to positive, which should happen very soon. That will put you in a great position, since you've already got the profit on the VIX movement itself, and then you'll also be earning overnight fees every night as well. That's the ideal position everyone wants to be in. Of course, if you just want to capture the profits you've already earned from the VIX movement, closing the positions wouldn't be a bad move, either. It's hard to argue with closing your positions at a high profit, which is where you're at right now.

Don't close your old positions, just open a new position and maintain multiple at the same time.

@@jrdnbshp Thanks for quick reply❤. I'll definitely check out the other video. However, I'd like to ask about your answer on this question. Why wouldn't you just "buy" it and then "sell" it again with better rate? For example when the value changes from the former 14 to like 19. Or is there some cumulative effect? Does that make sense, hope I understand that well.

It won't help you at all - you'll just end up unnecessarily paying the spread twice, so you'll be worse off doing what you're suggesting. But if you still think it's a good idea, test it in demo mode and you'll see what I mean. Learning from experience is always the most helpful.

Unfortunately you cannot sign up with a Canadian ID. But if you have a non-Canadian piece of ID (or you can sign up using a residence address that's outside of Canada), it will work for you.

I use leverage for this trade purely because it makes it even safer (since you have more of your own margin on the sidelines), but you don't necessarily need to. It's not structured like a typical leveraged trade that becomes riskier the more leverage you use, since the suggestions in the spreadsheet are just as conservative whether you use leverage or not. If you're considering the strategy but want to see how it works when markets are turbulent like they are this week, I'd suggest opening an account (link above) and playing around in your demo account. Then, once you get comfortable with things, invest whatever amount of real money you're comfortable with (even if it's just $20).

Hi Wei, great idea, but that's not what we're doing here. If you want to trade VIX options, you'll need to do that elsewhere. Alternatively, if you want to learn another pretty creative way of profiting from the VIX, watch my video "How To Get Filthy Rich From One Investment". It's a passive income strategy that uses the VIX. It's different from the strategy I set out here, and much easier to pull off, since you don't need to time anything correctly. With that said, though, now is a perfect time to short the VIX as it slowly falls back to baseline. Good luck.

Yes. I replied to your other comment. The overnight fees temporarily flip from positive to negative (and vice versa) when the VIX spikes up like it has over the past few days, but they'll flip back to the way they normally are very soon. Now is a great time to set yourself up for some major VIX profits.

@@jrdnbshpdoes this temporary flip mean that your short positions now are charging you overnight fees?

Yes. When the fees flip back and the VIX drops, you'll be in a very good position. If your live account isn't funded yet, at least try it in your demo account so you can see how things go. Then you'll be ready to capitalize on this next time.

@@jrdnbshp many thanks. So, is it worth hanging on or just buying it now either way

If you're already in the trade, definitely hold onto your positions. And if you're considering getting into the trade now, I would, but slowly (over several days). Use the spreadsheet to your advantage and just stick to what it suggests. If you do, you'll be in an extremely good position once the VIX drops back down.

Yes, that's correct, and yes, that will change. The overnight fees temporarily flip from positive to negative (and vice versa) when the VIX spikes up like it has over the past few days, but they'll flip back to the way they normally are very soon. Now is a great time to set yourself up for some major VIX profits.

Yes, you can get both welcome bonuses if you're approved for both cards. The links above have the full details on the bonuses.

I've opened some short positions already, and I plan to open more over the next 24-48 hours if the VIX continues to cool off. If you're considering investing and don't already have an account open, though, that should definitely be your first step. It can take a bit of time to get your account approved and funded. I discuss my overnight fees strategy (which I call "overnight fee harvesting") in a few other videos. It's one of the reasons I use Capital instead of trading the VIX in any other way.

Yes, you're correct, and this is very normal in situations when the VIX spikes quickly, like it has over the past few days. I can't say when the overnight fee will flip positive again, but this generally doesn't last long, and you'll be back to earning overnight fees every day once it does. Also, situations like these can be very good times to capitalize on high VIX prices, which I can see you're already thinking about. You can capture some very large gains as the VIX falls back down toward baseline. Just don't get overly aggressive.

@@jrdnbshp I had the same question. Thanks for clarifying

@@jrdnbshp thanks

You know that rogers will give 3 percent cash back on everything if you redeem it against a rogers/ fido purchase

​@@thegreatest9282 is a phone bill considered a rogers purchase?

@@Tribuneoftheplebs well yes

Yes, that's totally normal in situations when the VIX spikes quickly, like it has over the past few days. I can't say when the percentages will flip positive again, but this generally doesn't last long. When this happens I'm thinking much less about losing a bit of money in overnight fees and much more about capitalizing on these high VIX prices. It's an excellent time to double down on your positions and capture some large gains as the VIX falls back down toward baseline.

Hi William - it would have been an issue if the VIX inside Capital (the broker I make these trades with) had also spiked above $55, but the highest it's been over the past few days of market turbulence is $35, so any positions opened following the Overnight Fee Harvesting strategy are still doing fine. The VIX inside Capital is a CFD, so it can behave a bit differently during market turbulence, which is why its price isn't the same as the VIX you see on Google. If you're considering investing now, I'd suggest waiting a day or two to see what the VIX does next. I talk about the "spike quickly, fall slowly" behavior of the VIX in other videos, and I generally don't recommend opening positions when the VIX is as volatile as it has been so far today. Better to wait until later this week and see if it continues to spike or if it falls into a slow decline.

@@jrdnbshp Thanks for your fast answer. If I have understood correctly, the biggest risk is that you get margin-called, when the difference between your sell-price and current price times number of contracts surpasses your account balance. Is that true?

Yes, you got it. I recommend testing the strategy out in your demo account inside your Capital account so you can get a feel for how it works. It's all very straightforward, but seeing things with your own eyes will give you the confidence to start investing with real funds.

@@jrdnbshp ok, thank you for your insights! I have made an account and will try it out.

Which card(s) do you have now? Just the Cobalt?

1.25x. Nice Lifemiles trick!

Hey Ahmad, I just sent you the spreadsheet right now, check your email!

Can I invest the money that's on the account on other stocks or is it needed for the volatility index?

You can invest the additional money into stocks, but I wouldn't recommend that, because you'll be taking on additional risk for a relatively low return. Just leave it sitting there protecting your OFH investment.

@@jrdnbshp as soon as i started the market closed for 2 days here our weekends are different but hopefully soon i will get my first Overnight fee and i will update you good sir ❤️

@@jrdnbshp i have a question why did my overnight funding go from 7 to 8 now at 3 dollars?

The overnight fee percentage changes all the time, so that's not unusual. The calculations in the spreadsheet use long-term averages, so even if you're earning less than average now, you'll earn more than average later, too.
