Use Volatility In Your Favor With Robinhood Options Trading In April, Volatility Index VIX Hit Highest Mark
–News Direct–
By Meg Flippin, Benzinga
Thanks to their large upside potential, many seasoned traders choose to trade options to play the markets. Fintechs like Robinhood have made accessing the market easier for seasoned traders to fine-tune their strategies, building based on their trading level.
With inflation remaining stubborn, the markets appearing to be waiting for the Federal Reserves next move on interest rates and the U.S. about to enter what is expected to be a polarizing presidential election, volatility has been high. In April, the VIX Index which Wall Street uses to gauge volatility in the market hit its highest level since late October 2023, when the Israel-Hamas conflict began. Year-to-date, the VIX Index is up more than 12%.
Options Abound With Options Trading
While volatility may scare buy-and-hold investors, for active options traders, some look at it as an opportunity. After all, with options trading, investors can engage in a variety of diverse strategies that have the potential to work in all sorts of market conditions, whether it's speculating stocks will go up or down based on their bearish and bullish outlooks. Options are also cheaper than buying shares outright, creating leverage, which means the gains on your investment could be amplified as can losses. However, options expire, and you can lose your entire investment in a short period of time. Some strategies present a potential for substantial or even unlimited losses.
Then there are the hedging capabilities that come with options, which can help mitigate the dangers of high-risk, high-reward instruments. If an investor is worried a stock is going to fall they can purchase puts that enable them to sell the stock at a strike price, regardless of where the stock falls prior to expiration of the option. The same cant be said of stocks. If shares tank, you dont have any downward protection other than to sell and limit your losses. However, if the stock goes up or doesnt move prior to expiration, the option will expire worthless and the loss is equal to the premium paid.
Leveling The Playing Field For Options Investors
Accessing options trading is getting even easier thanks to Robinhoods trading platform. Not only do customers get access to options but also advanced charts, including the ability to track and modify technical indicators such as moving average, relative strength index and moving average convergence divergence. Furthermore, there are no contract fees.*
Other powerful features of Robinhoods platform include the ability to save and monitor options contracts to see hypothetical returns and options rolling in which you can seamlessly adjust and extend your positions. And lets not forget 24-hour support. If you have a question on your option strategy even in the wee hours of the morning, Robinhood has you covered.
Even retirement accounts and cash account holders can trade options with Robinhood. The same cant be said of some of Robinhoods rivals.
Robinhoods efforts to improve access are not surprising. For some time now, the company has been on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to investing by providing access to an array of investment and retirement products, keeping costs down and commissions at zero (other fees apply). Take Robinhood Gold for one example. Gold subscribers get 5% APY on uninvested cash in their brokerage account, a 1% boost on brokerage transfers and instant deposits.
None of this is lost on options traders, which is why that part of Robinhoods business is growing, and options traders are taking note. Robinhood is making moves to grow its market share even more. We want to be number one in the active trader market. So active traders are very important for us, Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev said in a recent interview. They care about very specific things like performance, pricing, user experience. And we're making lots of investments there both in the user experience and in new product innovations that other competitors don't offer, 24-hour market being a great example there.
Options trading is growing in popularity as regular retail investors learn its virtues. Robinhood wants to be a leader in the space and is pulling out all the stops to achieve that.

Disclaimer:
*There are no contract fees charged directly by Robinhood. However Robinhood does pass through certain fees charged by securities regulators and exchanges.
Commission-free trading of stocks, ETFs and options refers to $0 commissions for Robinhood Financial self-directed individual cash or margin brokerage accounts that trade U.S. listed securities and certain OTC securities electronically. Keep in mind, other fees such, Gold subscription fees, wire transfer fees, and paper statement fees may apply to your brokerage account. Please see Robinhood Financial's Fee Schedule to learn more.
Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all customers. Customers must read and understand the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before engaging in any options trading strategies. Options transactions are often complex and may involve the potential of losing the entire investment in a relatively short period of time. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk, including the potential for losses that may exceed the original investment amount.
Robinhood Financial does not guarantee favorable investment outcomes. The past performance of a security or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Customers should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing in options. Because of the importance of tax considerations to all options transactions, the customer considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request.
Rolling options does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. An investor may also end up compounding their losses. By rolling out, the duration is extended, which can also increase risks as there's more time for the underlying security's price to move unfavorably.
One of the key downsides of options vs stocks is that options contracts expire over time. For puts, If the stock price is at or above the strike price, the option expires worthless, and you can lose the money you paid for the options contract.
Risk of VIX options:
The prices of VIX options can fluctuate significantly and thus increase the risk for investors.
The VIX is a synthetic value that is calculated on the basis of option prices. Investors who invest in VIX options should therefore be aware of the special features of this asset class.
In some market situations, the VIX and thus also the prices of VIX options may not move in the expected direction. This means that in some cases VIX options may not help to reduce the risk of a portfolio, but rather increase it.
VIX options generally have a term of only a few months and are therefore more suitable for short-term trading.

Some books inform, and some books awaken. Exposed: Unveiling the NPD Crisis in the USA by Christopher DeVon does both with fearless honesty. It is not just a personal story; it is a mirror held up to a silent epidemic spreading through modern society, narcissistic personality disorder, and the devastation left in its wake. DeVon’s journey through betrayal, loss, manipulation, and faith-driven restoration reveals how parasitic narcissism has become one of the most destructive emotional plagues of our time.
Drawing from years of personal torment, legal battles, and profound reflection, Christopher DeVon unveils a hidden world where emotional abuse, false accusations, and character destruction go unspoken, especially when men become the victims. From the peaceful days of his marriage and the tragic passing of his wife to the emotional chaos that followed, DeVon’s story unfolds with painful clarity. His encounter with a woman he calls Lisa becomes the center of the storm, a relationship that begins with allure and ends in psychological warfare. Through vivid moments of manipulation, false accusations, and relentless emotional turmoil, DeVon exposes how narcissistic abuse traps its victims in confusion and despair, often feeling impossible.
The book traces every stage of that descent, from shattered foundations of love and loss to the cycle of control and chaos that consumes even the strongest spirits. His experiences in Los Angeles, Kansas, and Hawaii form more than geographical settings; they become symbolic battlegrounds between truth and illusion, good and evil. Each chapter reveals a deeper layer of how toxic personalities prey on empathy, distort perception, and weaponize vulnerability. DeVon’s writing is raw and unfiltered, but also deeply spiritual. He credits his faith in God for pulling him from the brink, reminding readers that no darkness can overpower divine light.
At its heart, Exposed is more than a personal testimony; it is a public call for awareness. DeVon shines light on how men, too, can become victims of emotional and physical abuse, often silenced by stigma and disbelief. The statistics he shares are staggering, yet his voice cuts through the numbers with something more powerful, lived truth. His candor challenges societal assumptions and demands that justice, empathy, and accountability replace shame and silence.
Beyond recounting trauma, DeVon turns his pain into purpose. The later chapters evolve into a guide for survival and recovery, teaching readers how to spot red flags, establish boundaries, and reclaim their lives after manipulation. He blends psychological insight with spiritual wisdom, crafting a roadmap toward freedom that only someone who has lived it could write.
Christopher DeVon’s life, once defined by loss and betrayal, now stands as a testament to endurance, clarity, and faith. His words extend hope to anyone trapped in toxic cycles, offering reassurance that healing is not only possible but necessary. Exposed: Unveiling the NPD Crisis in the USA does not seek sympathy; it seeks change. It urges readers to look beyond appearances and confront uncomfortable truths about the relationships that shape their lives.
Available now on major platforms, Exposed is a gripping and essential read for anyone ready to understand, recover, and rise above the epidemic of narcissistic abuse.

In a rapidly changing digital landscape, 81EX has always believed that a platform’s true value lies not only in offering functions but in becoming a long-term, trustworthy companion for its users.
Companionship Is the Greatest Value: How 81EX Builds Long-Term Trust with Its Users
In a rapidly changing digital landscape, 81EX has always believed that a platform’s true value lies not only in offering functions but in becoming a long-term, trustworthy companion for its users.
Since its establishment in 2022, 81EX has adhered to a “user-first” development philosophy, creating a stable, sustainable, and easy-to-use digital service platform.
Rather than being a tool that simply stacks features, 81EX aims to grow together with its users, forming an ecosystem built on lasting trust.
1. Understanding User Habits and Lowering Barriers to Entry
81EX’s product design revolves around real user habits, especially focusing on accessibility for beginners.
From registration and identity verification to feature guidance, every step follows the principles of “easy to understand and easy to use.”
The platform’s Instant Contract product is a direct embodiment of this philosophy — with a clean process, clear interface prompts, and intuitive logic, it’s ideal for users who want to quickly learn and experience trading strategies.
81EX eliminates redundant complexity, using simple navigation and an intuitive interface to help users quickly build familiarity and trust.
The platform believes that when users feel they can “understand,” “dare to try,” and “want to keep using,” that’s the true beginning of a great user experience.
2. Product Structure That Supports User Growth
81EX doesn’t settle for one-time functionality. Instead, it adopts a “growth-oriented product architecture” that serves users at every stage of their trading journey.
From basic spot trading to strategy tools, instant contracts, and diversified combination products, users can freely switch tools based on their goals and preferences.
The Instant Contract — one of 81EX’s flagship products — has been widely embraced for its fast rhythm, clear logic, and flexible risk control.
In addition, 81EX offers seamless integration across web and mobile platforms, with data visualization and asset analysis tools to help users refine their operations and decision-making.
This structural design enables users to transition from “trying” to “strategizing and optimizing,” realizing personalized growth through consistent use.
3. Stability and Service: The Foundation of Long-Term Trust
A platform truly worthy of trust must be built upon what’s “invisible” — system stability, security mechanisms, and service systems — and these are areas 81EX continuously invests in.
It has developed a high-performance matching engine, multi-factor authentication, and automated risk control models to ensure smooth operation and account safety.
At the same time, 81EX provides 24/7 multilingual customer support, covering multiple time zones, ensuring users receive timely help whenever needed.
81EX believes trust is the core reason users stay, and that trust is earned through careful attention to every operational detail and consistent improvement.
4. Co-Building the Ecosystem: Every Participant Has a Role
81EX serves not only end-users but also strives to create a multi-win cooperative ecosystem.
Through a “General Agent + Broker + User” three-tier structure, the platform provides partners at every level with promotion rights, marketing materials, training support, and profit-sharing plans.
In addition, 81EX offers data feedback, user behavior analytics, and market insight tools to help partners enhance promotion efficiency and user retention.
The platform emphasizes long-term cooperation — not merely transactional promotion, but ecosystem co-creation and shared success.
5. 81EX Believes True Competitiveness Comes from Long-Term Companionship
In an industry where many platforms chase short-term explosive growth, 81EX’s philosophy is that “companionship matters more than speed.”
Instead of judging success by short-term data, 81EX focuses on whether users choose to stay, recommend, and continue using the platform.
81EX remains committed to long-termism, avoiding fleeting hype and focusing on steady service, product optimization, and real user feedback — building genuine, sustainable brand trust.
Looking ahead, 81EX will continue pursuing its mission to be “a long-term partner that users can truly rely on.”
It aims not to be the biggest, but the most trustworthy digital service platform — one that users can confidently depend on.

Press Release
NovumX Publishes New Asset Screening and Governance Framework to Strengthen Listing Transparency
The Denver-based trading platform introduces a structured multi-dimension review system and announces quarterly disclosure plans for listed digital assets.
NovumX from Denver has released its formal asset-screening and governance framework, outlining the methodology used to review and monitor cryptocurrencies listed on the platform. The new system evaluates technical foundations, market quality, security resilience, regulatory considerations, and issuer transparency. The announcement includes plans for quarterly disclosures on asset conditions, review outcomes, and risk observations — a step aimed at advancing transparency across digital markets.
A digital asset trading platform based in Denver has formally introduced its new asset screening and governance framework, marking a significant move toward establishing a more transparent listing environment for digital assets. According to the announcement, the framework is designed to guide the evaluation, onboarding, monitoring, and potential delisting of assets based on measurable standards.
The review process incorporates several structural dimensions. Technical evaluation focuses on code integrity, protocol maintenance, and the stability of underlying mechanisms. Market-related factors include liquidity behavior, trading depth, and potential signs of artificial volume. Security assessments cover historical vulnerabilities, audit completeness, and the responsiveness of issuers to identified risks. Regulatory considerations include jurisdictional exposure, legal clarity, and whether a project is subject to ongoing enforcement or compliance inquiries. A separate evaluation examines issuer communication, disclosure quality, and possible conflicts of interest.
Once listed, assets remain under continuous observation. The monitoring system tracks abnormal on-chain behavior, unresolved security concerns, deviations in liquidity patterns, and discrepancies between disclosed and observed data. If a material issue arises, the asset may undergo a formal re-evaluation process, and decisions on suspension or removal will be documented and subject to oversight procedures. Individuals with conflicts of interest do not participate in listing-related decisions, according to the release.
To further enhance public transparency, NovumX announced that it will begin publishing quarterly summaries covering asset health indicators, review outcomes, and risk categories identified during ongoing surveillance. These reports aim to provide users and market observers with regular insights into how listed assets are performing relative to internal standards.
The introduction of this framework represents a step toward aligning digital asset governance with more mature financial-market practices. The platform stated that additional enhancements, including upgraded monitoring tools and expanded data-sourcing capabilities, are planned for future implementation.
