Stock Options Strategy: VXX Short Vertical (mid/high risk)

Discover a straightforward, highly profitable weekly income strategy using VXX options, combined with a built-in hedging approach. This trade is applied only under specific market conditions, which are clearly outlined in the course.

This program presents a proven options strategy grounded in statistical analysis and validated through long-term results. It’s one of my core trading methods because of its consistent profitability and ability to generate steady income, working as a strong complement to the CROC Trade. Having left behind stock trading, stock options, and forex years ago, I now focus exclusively on volatility trading — my area of expertise.

Inside the course, you’ll learn an easy-to-apply options strategy (entry-level, no adjustments required) that delivers weekly growth and consistent income. Built on the unique price behavior of the VXX volatility ETN, this method leverages its predictability to gain a clear market edge and significantly enhance your portfolio performance.

We’ll start with the fundamentals of volatility analysis, then move step by step into building the strategy — explaining the rationale, demonstrating its edge, and optimizing it for stronger performance. You’ll finish with a complete, rule-based trading plan that’s simple to execute, designed for controlled risk, and supported by extensive backtests that confirm its consistency and robustness.

All you need is basic options knowledge and access to a brokerage account (live or paper trading if you prefer to practice first). The strategy can also be applied within IRA accounts.
