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.

*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.

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.

PSI Highlights Use of Multiple Pump Designs to Support Diverse Industrial Environments
Process Solutions International (PSI) highlights its every application approach to industrial pumps, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right pump design—centrifugal, progressing cavity, or self-priming—based on specific fluid handling challenges. Through its PSI Max 2000 portfolio, the company supports diverse industries worldwide with purpose-built pump solutions designed to improve efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance.
Houston, TX, United States, 12th Feb 2026— Process Solutions International (PSI), a global provider of engineered fluid handling solutions, is reinforcing the importance of application-specific pump selection as industrial operations continue to diversify across sectors. Through its PSI Max 2000 industrial pump portfolio, the company emphasizes an “every application” approach, recognizing that no single pump design can effectively meet the demands of all industrial environments.
From high-volume fluid transfer to precision handling of viscous or solids-laden materials and challenging air-entrained conditions, PSI delivers multiple pump technologies engineered to perform reliably under distinct operational requirements. By offering centrifugal pumps, progressing cavity pumps, and self-priming pumps, PSI supports a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, wastewater treatment, mining, manufacturing, construction, and environmental services.
The Need for Purpose-Built Pump Designs in Modern Industry
Industrial fluid handling is rarely uniform. Facilities manage varying viscosities, solids content, flow rates, pressures, and environmental conditions often within the same operation. Selecting the wrong pump design can lead to inefficiencies, premature wear, excessive maintenance, and unplanned downtime.
PSI’s engineering philosophy centers on aligning pump technology with real-world application demands. Rather than promoting a one-size-fits-all solution, the company focuses on providing purpose-built pump designs that maximize performance, efficiency, and operational longevity. This application-driven approach allows industrial operators to maintain process integrity while adapting to evolving production requirements.
Centrifugal Pumps for High-Flow and General Transfer Applications
Centrifugal pumps remain one of the most widely used pump types across industrial environments due to their versatility and efficiency. PSI’s MakDaddy centrifugal pumps are designed to support applications requiring consistent, high-volume fluid movement with minimal complexity.
Operating through a rotating impeller that imparts kinetic energy to the fluid, centrifugal pumps are well-suited for clean or lightly contaminated liquids. These pumps are commonly deployed in water transfer, circulation systems, cooling processes, and general plant services where steady flow and dependable performance are essential.
PSI’s MakDaddy centrifugal pump line is engineered for durability in demanding environments, making it a practical choice for manufacturing facilities, water treatment plants, and oilfield support operations. Their straightforward design also contributes to reduced maintenance requirements and long-term operational efficiency.
Progressing Cavity Pumps for Controlled Flow and Challenging Fluids
Not all industrial fluids behave the same way. Applications involving thick, abrasive, shear-sensitive, or solids-laden materials require a pump design capable of maintaining precise, consistent flow under variable pressure conditions. For these challenges, PSI offers MAX2000 progressing cavity pumps.
Progressing cavity pumps are positive-displacement pumps that move fluid through a continuous sequence of sealed cavities formed between a helical rotor and a stator. This design enables smooth, pulse-free flow and accurate metering, regardless of changes in discharge pressure.
PSI’s progressing cavity pumps are widely used in wastewater treatment, oil and gas drilling operations, mining, chemical processing, and food production. They excel at transferring sludge, drilling mud, slurries, pastes, and other difficult materials that may cause inefficiencies or damage in centrifugal pump systems.
The MAX2000 design incorporates robust construction and specialized sealing technology to enhance reliability and minimize contamination risks. This makes progressing cavity pumps a critical component in processes where flow consistency, material integrity, and equipment longevity are priorities.
Self-Priming Pumps for Air-Entrained and Variable Suction Conditions
Certain industrial applications introduce air into the pumping system or operate under fluctuating suction conditions. Sump drainage, tank emptying, dewatering operations, and processes with intermittent fluid levels require pumps capable of evacuating air and restoring suction without manual intervention.
PSI’s MakDaddy self-priming pumps are engineered to handle these scenarios effectively. By incorporating internal air-handling mechanisms, self-priming pumps can separate air from liquid and re-prime automatically, even after shutdowns or loss of suction.
This capability simplifies installation, reduces reliance on auxiliary priming systems, and minimizes downtime.PSI’s self-priming pump solutions provide dependable performance in mixed air and fluid environments, helping operators maintain continuous operation under challenging conditions.
Supporting Industrial Operations Across Global Markets
PSI’s industrial pump solutions are deployed worldwide across diverse industries and operating environments. From municipal infrastructure and industrial manufacturing to energy production and environmental remediation, the company’s pumps support critical processes that demand reliability and consistency.
The availability of multiple pump designs within the PSI Max 2000 portfolio allows customers to standardize sourcing while still addressing varied application requirements. This flexibility supports scalability and operational continuity for organizations managing complex or multi-site operations.
About Process Solutions International
Process Solutions International (PSI) is an international provider of engineered industrial process equipment and fluid handling solutions. With decades of industry experience, PSI delivers high-performance systems designed to meet the demands of modern industrial environments. PSI serves customers globally with a focus on quality engineering, application expertise, and long-term operational value.
