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.

DR H Unveils the WUJI Smart Ring – Taking Smart Wearables to the Next Level of Fashion
DR H has officially launched its new WUJI Smart Ring – the WUJI Color Series. Inspired by the Eastern philosophy of “Heaven Round, Earth Square,” the product marks the world’s first fusion of high-jewelry and smart wearable technology. It supports core health-monitoring features, including heart rate, body temperature, menstrual cycle, emotional stress, fitness, and sleep—offering modern women a stylish accessory that combines intelligence with beauty.
Hong Kong, China, 23rd Mar 2026 – When technology meets aesthetics at fingertips, smart wearables are being redefined. DR H, a brand focused on fashion-forward smart wearables, officially introduced its latest product line: the WUJI Smart Ring on the eve of this year’s Chinese New Year.
Following the success of its first product – the TAIJI Smart Ring, which stood out with its day & night dual-ring design inspired by TAIJI’s Yin-Yang philosophy, the WUJI series takes a bolder step by integrating health monitoring functions into high-jewelry. This is more than a simple product upgrade—it marks the entry of smart wearables into the world of high-end luxury space.
Redefining Differentiation in a Booming Market
In recent years, consumers are no longer satisfied with monotonous smart rings—uniform band designs, minimalist metallic lines, and neutral color palettes. Though wearable, they fall short of delivering the emotional resonance people expect from traditional jewelry. For those who value personal style and aesthetic expression, choosing a smart ring often means compromising between function and beauty.
DR H has keenly identified this gap. Renowned Hong Kong designer Alan Chan, the brand’s aesthetic director, has infused his decades-long “Eastern passion and Western harmony” design philosophy and deep understanding of jewelry aesthetics into the WUJI Smart Ring. Material textures, gemstone forms, color combinations, and the flow of light, elements traditionally associated with fine jewelry, are now integral to the design of this smart ring.
This fusion elevates wearable tech from electronics to fashion, redefining jewelry for modern women as a form of self-expression, emotional memory, identity, and self-ritual. The WUJI Smart Ring, built on technology, embodies these meanings, transforming health management into an elegant lifestyle.
The First Smart Ring with a Fine Jewelry Design Language
The WUJI Smart Ring draws inspiration from the Eastern cosmological concept of “Heaven Round, Earth Square,” symbolizing harmony between humanity and nature. The newly released WUJI Color Series comes in three tones—Silver, Azure, and Ruby—catering to different styles and preferences. Each piece is a feast for the senses, crafted with the standards and artistry of fine jewelry.
The square ring base, made of 925 sterling silver, conveys stability and refinement, reminiscent of the earth’s grounded order. The azure and ruby versions feature mirror polishing, creating dynamic light reflections, while the silver version uses a brushed finish for a soft, satin-like sheen.
At the heart of the design lies a round gemstone with a briolette cut, symbolizing the all-encompassing sky. Its unique three-dimensional teardrop cut, with up to 60 facets, refracts light brilliantly from every angle, resembling a galaxy in motion. Surrounding the central stone are 24 smaller gemstones arranged like stars around the moon, enhancing the sense of rhythm and depth.
From metal forging and shaping to gemstone selection, cutting, polishing, and intricate setting, the WUJI smart ring adheres to rigorous standards of fine jewelry craftsmanship. Its goal is to let technology recede behind fashion, allowing wearers to experience aesthetic pleasure and emotional resonance with every glance.
Intelligent Core Beneath a Brilliant Exterior
WUJI Smart Ring provides comprehensive health tracking, including heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, and menstrual cycle, along with detailed sleep and stress analyses. It features nearly 10 fitness modes, such as dance, Pilates, and yoga, catering to refined lifestyles.
On a deeper level, DR H aims to transform health data into actionable insights and lifestyle guidance. Its proprietary DR HHH App includes a personalized health management system, “TAIJI Girl,” which draws on over a million professional journal sources to provide daily health tips and recommendations. It also integrates value-added services such as mindfulness meditation, sleep-audio aids, and psychological counseling, forming a complete Monitoring–Analysis–Guidance health ecosystem.
This simultaneous advancement in technology and service ecosystem allows DR H to deliver an unprecedented, user-centric experience in the fashion wearable space.
The WUJI Smart Ring – WUJI Color Series is now officially available across all DR H sales channels. The brand plans to introduce more design variations in the future, continuously expanding the aesthetic boundaries of smart wearables.
Through WUJI, DR H upgraded a product and pioneered tech jewelry, leading the industry toward premiumization, emotional connection, and fashion integration. Ultimately, technology will seamlessly enhance daily life, promoting our physical and mental well-being.

Otonomii AI Acquires AI Signals to Expand Enterprise Platform for Autonomous Market Intelligence
New York, NY, March 23rd, 2026, Otonomii AI, a financial technology company building native artificial intelligence for autonomous trading and market risk analysis, today announced the acquisition of AI Signals (aissignals.com), a retail AI trading signals platform. The acquisition marks a defining step in Otonomii AI’s mission to create continuously learning investment systems that adapt to markets in real time.
The acquisition allows Otonomii AI to extend its proprietary cognitive architecture — a One Brain, Multiple Minds system where a single domain-agnostic memory infrastructure powers specialized, continuously learning market intelligences — beyond internal capital deployment into a broader ecosystem serving retail traders, institutional desks, and brokerage platforms worldwide.
Otonomii AI develops proprietary trading intelligence systems designed to perceive financial markets, learn from their structure, and deploy capital using continuously evolving AI architectures. The company’s technology was originally built for internal trading and risk-management applications, where the system operates using the firm’s own capital. Unlike conventional AI trading tools that rely on static models and historical pattern matching, Otonomii’s systems are designed to recognize when market conditions have fundamentally changed — and adapt autonomously.
Through the acquisition of AI Signals, Otonomii will extend this technology into an enterprise-grade platform that serves the full spectrum of market participants — from individual traders seeking intelligent signals to brokers requiring embedded AI infrastructure for their clients.
AI Signals currently operates a trading signals terminal designed for beginner, intermediate, and advanced traders, offering structured signal generation, market state analysis, and risk-management tools. The platform will serve as the retail and broker distribution layer for Otonomii AI’s continuously learning technology.
Following the acquisition, Otonomii AI plans to expand the platform’s capabilities and accelerate its enterprise roadmap, including:
- Expansion into equities, futures, and additional financial markets
- Seamless integration with MT4 and MT5 trading platforms
- Broker-level API connectivity for embedded AI market intelligence
- Dedicated mobile and desktop applications
- Autonomous strategy modules that learn and adapt without manual recalibration
This infrastructure will allow brokers to offer AI-driven market intelligence directly to their clients, while Otonomii AI builds toward its long-term vision: fully autonomous investment systems governed by transparent, auditable frameworks.
Founder Statement
Kaushal Sheth, creator of Otonomii AI, commented:
“The financial industry is entering the autonomy era. Traditional trading tools — even those branded as AI — are still fundamentally static systems that break when markets shift. Otonomii AI was designed from first principles as a system that doesn’t just analyze markets but learns them continuously, the way an experienced trader builds intuition over decades — except the machine never stops learning and never forgets. With the acquisition of AI Signals, we can now deliver this intelligence not only to our internal trading infrastructure, but to brokers and traders worldwide. This is the beginning of something much larger.”
Market Opportunity
The global financial AI market is undergoing a structural transformation. According to industry research, 44% of enterprise finance teams plan to deploy agentic AI systems in 2026 — a 600% increase year-over-year. The World Economic Forum has declared that banking is entering the “agentic era,” transitioning from AI assistance to transactional authority. Meanwhile, S&P Global’s $1.8 billion acquisition of With Intelligence in late 2025 signals massive institutional appetite for specialized AI-powered financial data platforms.
By combining Otonomii AI’s proprietary cognitive architecture with AI Signals’ existing retail infrastructure and user community, the platform aims to create a new category of continuously learning broker intelligence tools. Brokers will be able to offer advanced, adaptive market analysis capabilities directly to their users — while traders gain access to autonomous AI systems previously limited to institutional environments.
About Otonomii AI
Otonomii AI is a native artificial intelligence company focused on financial markets, specializing in autonomous trading intelligence and risk-management systems.
Unlike traditional signal platforms that rely on static algorithmic models or historical pattern recognition, Otonomii AI is built on a cognitive architecture inspired by how the human brain organizes intelligence: one universal memory system — the Brain — that stores, links, and consolidates experience, with multiple specialized Minds that each learn a different domain. A Mind built for financial markets learns differently than a Mind built for equity futures, yet both draw from the same foundational memory infrastructure. This One Brain, Multiple Minds design allows the system to perceive market structure, recognize regime shifts, and evolve its strategies autonomously — compounding intelligence the way the best funds compound capital.
The technology was developed by Kaushal Sheth, a fintech technology veteran and current Chief Technology Officer of GFT Technologies USA, a publicly traded global engineering firm specializing in enterprise technology solutions for financial institutions.
About AI Signals
AI Signals (aissignals.com) is a retail trading intelligence platform offering a full trading console designed for beginner, intermediate, and advanced traders.
The platform provides AI-generated trade signals, market structure analysis, risk-management tools, and performance tracking. AI Signals is powered by Otonomii AI’s cognitive architecture, enabling traders to access market intelligence derived from continuously learning AI systems rather than static algorithmic models.
AI Signals will continue operating under its existing brand as the retail distribution layer for Otonomii AI technology.
