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. 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.

FEM Women’s Health Launches First-of-its-Kind Telemedicine Survivorship Program for Breast and Gynecologic Cancer Patients
United States, 26th Nov 2025 — FEM Women’s Health today announced the launch of the first telemedicine-based Comprehensive Survivorship Program designed specifically for women navigating life during and after breast and gynecologic cancer treatment. This groundbreaking model closes one of the most significant gaps in women’s oncology care: access to structured, long-term survivorship support.
More than 60% of breast and gynecologic cancer survivors do not receive a Survivorship Care Plan, leaving thousands of women without coordinated guidance once active treatment ends. FEM’s program changes that by delivering a coordinated survivorship experience through FEM’s integrated care network, combining in-house clinicians with vetted external specialists to ensure patients receive comprehensive support from home.
“Cancer survivorship should not be an afterthought,” said Sr. Stacy Henigsman, Chief Medical Officer of the Survivorship Program at FEM Women’s Health. “Women face complex physical, emotional, hormonal, and sexual health challenges after treatment. Our program provides a clear roadmap, specialized clinical oversight, and whole-person support—from diagnosis through lifelong recovery—all accessible through secure telemedicine.”
A New National Standard for Survivorship Care
FEM’s Survivorship Program is the first in the nation to integrate oncology-informed gynecologic care, mental health services, lifestyle coaching, integrative therapies, and sexual health support into a single, fully virtual model.
Core components include:
• Medical & Physical Support
Symptom and side-effect management; surveillance for recurrence; pelvic floor and physical therapy; treatment-related menopause care; and fertility counseling.
• Mental & Emotional Health
Virtual counseling for anxiety, depression, and PTSD; cognitive support; peer mentorship; and moderated support groups.
• Sexual Health & Intimacy
Management of low libido, vaginal dryness, pain with intimacy, and body image concerns—offered to individuals and couples.
• Lifestyle & Wellness Coaching
Nutrition guidance, weight management, exercise planning, smoking cessation, and personalized healthy-living strategies.
• Integrative & Complementary Therapies
Virtual access to acupuncture consults, massage therapy guidance, yoga, mindfulness practices, and stress-reduction modalities.
• Care Coordination & Education
Personalized Survivorship Care Plans, communication with oncology teams, and long-term education on self-monitoring and preventive care.
“Our goal is simple: to help survivors not only recover—but rebuild, thrive, and feel whole again,” said Dr. Steven Fein, CEO of FEM Women’s Health. “This program reflects years of listening to patients, collaborating with oncologists, and understanding the gaps that persist after treatment.”
Who the Program Serves
This program supports women from the moment of diagnosis through active treatment and long-term survivorship for breast and gynecologic cancers. It provides coordinated, whole-person care designed for women who experience::
- Side effects during or after treatment for breast, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, vulvar, or cervical cancer
- Fatigue, persistent hot flashes, sleep disturbances, or treatment-induced menopause
- Sexual dysfunction, vaginal dryness, pelvic floor changes, or intimacy concerns
- Bone loss, osteoporosis, or fracture risk related to cancer therapies
- Psychological stress, long-term hormone suppression challenges, or recurrence anxiety
This virtual model allows survivors across Florida, and ultimately nationwide, to access expert survivorship care without travel, wait times, or fragmented follow-up.
A Transformational Shift in Women’s Cancer Care
With rising survivorship rates, oncologists increasingly emphasize the need for structured, long-term follow-up that extends beyond cancer treatment. FEM Women’s Health is positioned to set a new national standard by integrating specialized gynecology, lifestyle medicine, mental health, and whole-person recovery into a single survivorship pathway.
“This program represents the future of women’s oncology care,” added Dr. Stacy Henigsman. “It ensures that survivors are never left navigating the after-effects of cancer alone.”
Availability & Referral Information
FEM’s Survivorship Program is now accepting patients statewide. Referrals can be made directly by oncology teams, gynecologists, primary care providers, or through self-referrals from survivors.

Stellar’s HT-711 Mesh Chair Registers Record-Breaking Orders Within First Month of Launch
Foshan, Guangdong, China, 26th Nov 2025 – In an industry where new office chair models often take months to gain meaningful traction, China based office chair manufacturer Stellar has achieved something rare. Its newly launched HT-711 work chair has not only captured attention but has swiftly turned that attention into record-breaking bookings within just the first month of its public debut at Orgatec 2025 India.
What makes the development noteworthy is not merely the volume of orders, but the sheer diversity of buyers behind them. Retailers, wholesalers, project procurement teams, and a growing number of global e-commerce operators have all moved quickly to secure large consignments. Dealers who traditionally wait for market feedback before committing have, in this case, reported an uncommon level of confidence many influenced by early reactions from ergonomic experts, workspace designers, and long-time trade partners.
According to industry insiders, the HT-711 immediately stood out for the balance it strikes between engineering depth and commercial sensibility. Its fluid back design shaped to move with the user while maintaining comfort earned praise for elevating everyday ergonomics without leaning into unnecessary complexity. The chair’s adaptive locking and tension system, which supports multiple seating positions, was repeatedly cited as a major differentiator for long-hour users across modern offices.
Retailers also highlighted the chair’s adjustable components, such as its swivel headrest, responsive lumbar support, and multi-level armrest configurations, noting that these features allow the HT-711 to serve a broad spectrum of users without requiring separate SKUs for nuanced postural needs. Its versatility across textures and colors evident in the variants was another point of enthusiasm, especially for e-commerce sellers seeking high-appeal listings and for interior planners working on mid-to-large-scale office projects.
Speaking on the overwhelming reception, Stellar’s CEO Mr. Arihant Nahar said:
“We are genuinely delighted by how the market has embraced the HT-711. From the moment we finalized the design, its color range and feature depth gave us confidence. Seeing that confidence mirrored by our customers is truly rewarding.”
While the admiration is global, the momentum is being driven by a shared sentiment across the furniture fraternity: the HT-711 appears to align with precisely what the post-2020 workplace demands. More organizations are prioritizing comfort, adaptability, and long-duration seating performance, and dealers see in the HT-711 a model that answers those needs without overextending budgets.
What strengthens the story further is Stellar’s readiness to fulfill the surge. Industry watchers often note that sudden spikes in demand can become problematic for manufacturers who are not scaled for rapid supply. Stellar furniture, however, operates a 25,000 sq. meter production facility in Foshan complete with in-house mould manufacturing which allows it to scale output quickly while maintaining consistent build standards. The company has already reassured its partners that all current and upcoming batches will be delivered within committed timelines across international markets.
As the first wave of shipments begins moving into distribution channels worldwide, the broader industry will be watching closely. For now, what is certain is that Stellar’s HT-711 has entered the market not quietly, but emphatically setting a new benchmark for how quickly a thoughtfully engineered mesh chair can earn the trust and excitement of an entire industry.

New York, United States, 26th Nov 2025 — In recognition of Crypto Safety Month, Bitamp is sharing guidance to help users navigate one of the most widespread challenges in the digital asset space: incorrect Bitcoin giveaway promotions.

Such giveaway-style promotions may appear on social platforms, imitation websites, online communities, or unofficial accounts. They often request users to send a small amount of Bitcoin “for verification” or promise increased returns after an initial transfer. Bitamp highlights that reputable platforms or service providers do not require users to send cryptocurrency in order to receive additional amounts.
“Awareness plays an essential role in maintaining a smooth and confident experience in the crypto space. By understanding how certain promotional messages typically work and recognizing key indicators, users can navigate the digital environment with greater clarity,” added a Bitamp spokesperson.
Bitamp continues to provide users with secure, private, and anonymous access to Bitcoin without accounts or personal data. Through ongoing awareness efforts and community support, the platform remains dedicated to enhancing safety and clarity within the broader crypto ecosystem.
