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.

PostOnce Launches Crossposting Tool to Help Creators Automatically Post Once and Publish Everywhere
PostOnce helps creators, brands, and agencies automatically post videos, images, and text across Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, TikTok, and Pinterest from one workflow.
MONTREAL, Canada, 4th Jul 2026– PostOnce launched its social media crossposting platform for creators, bootstrappers, small businesses, brands, and agencies.
PostOnce helps you post once and publish everywhere. You connect your accounts, choose your source platform, choose your destination platforms, and set up a workflow. PostOnce handles repeat distribution across your social channels.
Many creators publish on one platform because manual reposting takes time. PostOnce reduces this work. You get more time for content creation and less time spent uploading the same post again.
PostOnce supports:
- Crossposting and content recycling between the same or different platforms, such as Instagram to Instagram or Instagram to TikTok.
- Videos, images, and text posts across Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, TikTok, and Pinterest.
- Platform-ready publishing without watermarks, with HD quality where supported, automatic resizing, and thumbnail and caption consistency.
- Dashboard scheduling for creators who want specific captions or publish times per platform.
- API and MCP access for publishing from external systems and AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLM workflows.
Automated posts publish within 15 minutes of detection.
“A lot of creators and brands only grow on one platform because crossposting takes too much manual work,” said Nigel Yong, Founder of PostOnce. “I found myself doing the same thing, so I built PostOnce as the solution I wanted. You set up a workflow in under three minutes, then PostOnce handles distribution. Social media rewards volume. When you spend less time manually reposting, you get more time to create better content. I used this workflow to grow How2Rizz to more than 15,000 followers on TikTok, 12,000 on Instagram, and 4,800 on YouTube by distributing the same content across platforms.”
More than 150,000 posts have been published through PostOnce. Content creators, brands, and agencies use PostOnce to increase reach and reduce platform risk. Posting across more channels helps you depend less on one social network.
PostOnce offers a 7-day free trial. Learn more at https://postonce.to/.

Transport BPO Extends Dispatch and Back Office Support to Transportation Companies and Owner Operators
TransportBPO has extended its transport dispatch and back office services to trucking companies and owner operators across the US, Canada, UK and Australia, covering load booking, driver check calls, invoicing and compliance paperwork.
Vancouver, WA, United States, 4th Jul 2026, Grand Newswire – TransportBPO (https://transportbpo.com), the specialist call center and business process outsourcing provider for the ground transportation industry, has extended its dispatch and back office services to trucking companies, owner operators and small freight fleets across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.
The move brings trucking into a service lineup already covering taxi, cab, private hire, non-emergency medical transportation, chauffeur and courier operators. For trucking, the pain point is different but familiar: an owner operator hauling freight cannot negotiate the next load, chase a detention payment and update a broker portal from the driver’s seat, and a small fleet dispatcher who quits mid-week can idle trucks for days. Transport BPO’s truck dispatch service handles load searching and booking, rate negotiation support, carrier packet setup, driver check calls, document collection and delivery confirmations, working within whichever load boards and transportation management systems a carrier already uses.
Back office support rounds out the service. Trucking clients can assign invoicing, factoring paperwork, IFTA fuel tax record keeping, driver file management and compliance document tracking to the same team that handles their dispatch, replacing the after-hours administrative burden that pushes many owner operators out of the business within their first two years.
“A truck only earns when it is loaded and moving, yet the average small carrier spends hours every day parked in paperwork,” said Nimra Khalid, chief operating officer of SS Support Network LLC, the parent company of Transport BPO. “Handing dispatch and the back office to a trained team costs a fraction of a single staff hire and keeps the driver doing the one thing that pays, which is driving.”
The trucking expansion follows the same model Transport BPO applies across ground transportation: trained agents work inside the client’s existing systems rather than forcing a software change, coverage is scheduled to the client’s local time zone, and service scales from part-time overflow support to a fully outsourced round-the-clock operation. Onboarding typically completes within days.
TransportBPO is a brand of SS Support Network LLC, a business process outsourcing company registered in Vancouver, Washington, whose delivery team of more than 50 trained agents has supported transportation and healthcare clients in dispatch, billing, credentialing and customer service since 2020.
Trucking companies and owner operators can request pricing or book a consultation at https://transportbpo.com.
About TransportBPO
