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.

Foshan, Guangdong, China, 25th Nov 2025, Grand Newswire – As American consumers pay closer attention to household drinking water safety, more families are now looking for solutions that are more reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly than bottled water. Tap water in many regions may contain potential contaminants such as PFAS, lead, and microplastics, posing long-term health concerns. Choosing a trusted home water purification system has increasingly become a key decision for families seeking a better quality of life. By combining AI technology with innovations in filtration, VIOMI aims to provide greater peace of mind for everyday drinking water.
If you’ve been eyeing a high-performance water purifier but the price has held you back, this is your chance. VIOMI is kicking off with amazing deals on its most popular smart water purifiers in the United States. VIOMI VORTEX Series AI water purification systems — the V6 and V8 — as well as the MASTER Series M1, with discounts of up to 50% (final pricing subject to Amazon listings). The campaign begins on November 20 and runs through December 1 (PST), with November 28 and December 1 highlighted as peak promotion days.
The VORTEX V6 and V8 feature a 9-stage deep purification system designed to effectively remove a wide range of contaminants.

Foshan, Guangdong, China, 25th Nov 2025, Grand Newswire – With the holiday season approaching, millions of American households are looking for the next big upgrade for their homes. While screens and speakers often dominate the headlines, as one of the innovative global leaders in smart water purification technology, VIOMI Technology Co., Ltd. is championing a different kind of smart home revolution: using AI technology to protect household water safety and enhance quality of life.
With tap water safety concerns—ranging from aging lead pipes to emerging “forever chemicals” (PFAS)—becoming part of daily conversation, VIOMI offers a powerful solution. From November 20 to December 1, several of VIOMI’s highly-rated water purifiers will be available on Amazon with limited-time discounts of up to 50% off.

By integrating 9-stage precision filtration with remineralization technology, it helps households significantly reduce reliance on bottled water, making clean, great-tasting, and mineral-enhanced water readily accessible.
Purity and Wellness in Every Drop: While standard RO systems strip water completely clean, often resulting in flat-tasting and acidic water, the VIOMI MASTER M1 takes a smarter approach. The 9-stage filtration system, anchored by a 0.0001-micron high-precision RO membrane, effectively removes over 99% of harmful substances such as PFAS, microplastics, lead, and arsenic, ensuring the safety of every drop. After thorough filtration, water is enriched with six essential beneficial minerals—including Strontium, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, and Metasilicic Acid—through a remineralization process, delivering a clean, refreshing, and smooth taste that elevates your drinking experience.
Smart Interaction, Clear Insights: Eliminate the guesswork of hydration. The MASTER M1 features a smart touch-screen faucet that pairs with the VIOMI App, making the invisible visible.

With a RO filter lasting up to 2 years and a 1-year PCB filter, it significantly reduces long-term costs. The tool-free replacement design makes maintenance simple and straightforward, delivering technology that truly serves your life.
The Efficiency Expert: VIOMI VORTEX V8 Amazon Deal: Exclusive Holiday Savings
Designed for larger families and those prioritizing sustained performance, the VORTEX V8 delivers both immediate power and enduring efficiency—making it an investment that pays off for years to come.

Waste Less, Drink More: While many traditional RO systems operate with lower efficiency, the V8 flips the script with a 3:1 pure-to-drain ratio. This industry-leading efficiency is designed to significantly reduce water waste compared to conventional models, helping to lower both your environmental footprint and your water bill over time.
Compact Design, Long-Term Reliability: The space-saving tankless design saves up to 65% of under-sink space while preventing bacterial growth commonly found in traditional storage tanks—ensuring fresh, clean water with every use. With the long-life filters (a 4-year RO filter and a 2-year PCB filter) and an extra PCB filter in the box, the V8 ensures up to four years of consistent performance—minimizing maintenance and delivering true long-term value for discerning households.
The Value Champion: VIOMI VORTEX V6 Amazon Deal: Exclusive Holiday Savings
The VORTEX V6 proves that elite water safety doesn’t require an elite budget. It stands as the value champion of the event.
Certified Peace of Mind: Like the V8, the V6 carries the gold standard of validation—SGS certification against NSF/ANSI 372, 53, and 42 standards. It is scientifically proven to reduce up to 99.60% of PFOA/PFOS and 94.75% of TDS, providing a verified shield against modern water contaminants.
Premium Features, Accessible Price: The V6 provides a 600 GPD flow rate—ideal for small to medium-sized homes. Despite its entry-level price point during the sale, it retains flagship DNA: a 9-stage filtration process, a 4-year RO filter lifespan, and a smart LED faucet that notifies you exactly when maintenance is needed.

Press Release
FMS Hobby Reignites the Spirit of the Camel Trophy with Its Officially Licensed FCX10 Land Rover Series
United States, 25th Nov 2025, – Three rugged Land Rover vehicles navigating through a lush, tropical jungle environment, showcasing their off-road capabilities.
https://www.fmshobby.com/cdn/shop/files/FCX10_Land_Rover_2160-720_S-Page.jpg?v=1759053482&width=2160
FMS Hobby, a leader in high-fidelity RC crawlers, is proud to announce its FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy Edition, bringing together Land Rover’s iconic design and the rugged, adventurous spirit of the Camel Trophy in a 1:10 scale ready-to-run (RTR) package.
Available now in the U.S., the FCX10 series captures the heritage, performance, and authenticity that off-road enthusiasts demand — without sacrificing scale realism or trail capability.
A Legacy of Exploration, Captured in Scale
The Camel Trophy once stood as the ultimate test of endurance – a grueling expedition across jungles, deserts, and mountains where only the most capable 4x4s survived. FMS brings this spirit to life with its Land Rover lineup, featuring three officially licensed models:
- FMS 1:10 FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy (Range Rover)
- FMS 1:10 FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy (Defender 110)
- FMS 1:10 FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy (Discovery)
Availability & Pricing
FCX10 Land Rover Camel Trophy (Range Rover, Discovery, Defender 110) — MSRP around $389.99.
FMS also supports a 30-day return policy for new, unused orders (from its U.S. store) and provides long-term technical support.
Each model is engineered with an officially licensed Land Rover body, faithfully reproducing the lines, proportions, and rugged presence of its full-size counterpart. The attention to detail is evident — from side mirrors and snorkels to working spotlights and a fully realized interior layout.
Built to Conquer: Performance Meets Durability
Underneath the scale-accurate body lies the proven FCX10 crawler chassis, tuned for trail dominance:
- Metal oil-filled shocks deliver stable, controlled suspension across rough terrain.
- A front-center motor layout, along with straight axles and a four-link suspension, ensures a low center-of-gravity and excellent traction control.
- The drivetrain features all-metal gears and a rugged build, designed for real off-road wear and tear.
- A patented quick-release body system allows for fast maintenance, while a magnetic lighting system powers pre-installed headlights, turn signals, reverse lights, and roof spotlights — all without messy wiring.
- Steering precision is aided by a 25 kg metal servo backed by a 550 brushed 32T motor, giving the rig both torque for crawling and responsiveness for tighter maneuvers.
Designed for Every Adventure Scenario
Whether it’s urban cruising, backyard exploration, or rock-strewn trails, the FCX10 Land Rover is set for action:
- Urban Cruising – With its realistic lighting system and polished body, it’s equally at home under street lights as it is on dirt.
- Outdoor Adventure – Rugged bumpers and all-terrain tires mean rocks, dirt, or gravel don’t slow it down.
- Jungle Challenge – Tough suspension and trail-ready power let it power through mud, roots, and steep climbs, echoing the spirit of the Camel Trophy.
- Family Fun – It’s accessible for beginners (ages 14+) but engaging for experienced crollers.
Why U.S. Hobbyists Are Rallying Behind It
- Scale Realism + Licensed Design: The officially licensed Land Rover bodies make these models instantly recognizable and highly desirable among scale RC fans.
- Trail-Capable Performance: The FCX10 chassis gives real crawling capability — it’s not just a showpiece, it’s built to tackle serious terrain.
- Ease of Maintenance: The quick-release body system and magnetic lights simplify maintenance and battery swaps.
- Strong Value Proposition: With configurations available around $389.99 USD directly from FMS or authorized retailers, it’s competitive in its segment.
- Fast U.S. Delivery: FMS offers 3–7 business day shipping from its U.S. warehouse, supporting quick fulfillment.
Voices from the Trail
Keen hobbyists and content creators are already putting these rigs to the test. On YouTube, RCDriver posted a full unboxing and trail run of the FMS FCX10 Land Rover Range Rover, showcasing extreme scale realism, a two-speed transmission, metal links, and magnetic body mounting in action.
Quotes
“We set out to make an RC crawler that’s not just functional, but fully immersive — a Land Rover in every sense, from headlights to chassis.” — Product Manager, FMS Hobby
“Driving the FCX10 Land Rover feels like being part of the Camel Trophy itself: you’ve got durability, detail, and a real sense of purpose.” — RCDriver (YouTube reviewer)
Discover more 1:10 and 1:18 performance crawlers from FMS — engineered for scale detail, durability, and adventure.
