How to trade the VIX

VIX, also called the "Fear Index", represents the 30-day expected volatility of the US Markets as reflected in the price of SPX Options. It is also an index that can be traded, although not as easily as other indices such as the SPX or the NDX. In this lesson we will learn how to trade VIX by using VIX Futures, VIX ETFs and ETNs and also VIX Options.

We will also learn the nuances of each one of these instruments, how contango and backwardation affect their pricing and how to select the best instrument to trade the VIX effectively and profitably.
