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.

Adapting to Change NordFX Strategies for Thriving in Dynamic Financial Landscapes
In 2025, financial markets have been defined by heightened geopolitical uncertainty, rapid policy changes, and shifting relationships between asset classes. For traders, these conditions present both challenges and opportunities. NordFX has focused on developing practical strategies that help clients adapt to market turbulence with confidence and agility.
Navigating Market Turbulence in 2025
Recent months have seen significant volatility across gold, cryptocurrencies, equities, and other major markets. Assets that traditionally move in opposite directions have, at times, risen or fallen together, creating new complexities for portfolio management. In such an environment, success depends on stability, flexibility, and the ability to act decisively when conditions change.

NordFX approach blends infrastructure resilience, effective risk management, diverse market access, and operational efficiency — providing traders with the tools they need to make informed decisions under pressure.
Execution Stability When Speed Matters
In periods of high volatility, execution speed and reliability can make the difference between a profitable trade and a missed opportunity. NordFX prioritises low-latency order processing, stable platform performance, and deep liquidity to minimise slippage. This ensures traders can execute positions efficiently, even when prices are moving rapidly.
Risk-Sensitive Trading Tools and Education
Volatility can magnify both profits and losses. To help traders manage this risk, NordFX provides tools such as margin controls and negative balance protection. Alongside these safeguards, the company offers educational resources that help clients understand market dynamics and apply disciplined trading strategies. The aim is to give traders the confidence to navigate uncertainty without overexposing their capital.
Multi-Asset Flexibility Amid Correlation Shifts
With traditional correlations breaking down, diversification has become more important than ever. NordFX offers a broad selection of instruments, including forex pairs, gold, and cryptocurrency CFDs, allowing traders to respond quickly to changing market conditions. This flexibility enables portfolio adjustments that align with shifting trends and evolving trading strategies.
Seamless Payments and Crypto Withdrawals
Operational efficiency is a critical component of market adaptability. NordFX supports fast, automated cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals, giving traders rapid access to funds when market conditions require swift action. This capability is particularly valuable during periods of market stress, when timely access to capital can be essential.
A Word from NordFX Leadership
“In dynamic markets, the ability to adapt is not about reacting impulsively, but about maintaining the right balance between preparation and execution,” said Vanessa Polson, Marketing Manager at NordFX. “Our focus is on giving traders stability, clarity, and the tools they need to respond effectively to whatever the market delivers.”
Preparedness as a Core Principle
The current financial landscape underscores the importance of preparation and adaptability. By combining robust trading infrastructure, effective risk management, multi-asset access, and seamless operations, NordFX offers a practical framework for thriving in unpredictable conditions. While no one can control the market, the right strategies can help traders turn uncertainty into opportunity.

Press Release
Eminence Capital Ltd Shaping Client Success in a Transforming Global Economy
In a world defined by accelerating technological innovation, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and evolving market dynamics, the ability to anticipate change and act with precision is more valuable than ever. From its headquarters in New York, Eminence Capital Ltd., founded in 2024 by Henry Lucas and registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (CIK: 0002032273), is building on its solid foundation to help clients succeed in the decade ahead.
Eminence is more than an asset management firm; it is a forward-looking partner dedicated to interpreting the global economy’s trajectory and translating that insight into tangible investment outcomes. With four specialized research divisions — Equities, Fixed Income, Multi-Asset, and International Strategies — and a rigorous compliance and risk management framework, Eminence is uniquely positioned to guide clients through a future that promises both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges.

The Global Economic Outlook: 2025–2035
The coming decade will not simply be an extension of the past. Several long-term forces are set to redefine the economic and investment landscape.
1. Slower but More Balanced Global Growth
Global GDP growth is projected to moderate from the high-volatility swings of the early 2020s toward a more sustainable annual range of 2.5% to 3%. While this is below the rapid post-pandemic rebound, the distribution of growth is becoming more balanced. Emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America will account for a larger share of expansion, while developed economies will focus on productivity gains rather than raw output.
For investors, this means that geographic diversification will remain a critical source of return, but so will careful selection of markets with sound policy frameworks and demographic tailwinds.
2. Persistent Inflation Complexity
After the inflationary surges of 2021–2023, price pressures have stabilized, but inflation is unlikely to fully retreat to pre-pandemic lows. Structural factors — such as energy transition costs, re-shoring of manufacturing, and demographic shifts — will keep average inflation in developed markets in the 2.5%–3.5% range.
Eminence views this as an environment that rewards active management in fixed income and real asset allocation, as the interplay between nominal yields, real returns, and central bank policy becomes more nuanced.
3. Technological Acceleration and Productivity
Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and clean energy will drive a new wave of productivity growth. However, these gains will not be evenly distributed across sectors and regions. The winners will be companies — and investors — who can integrate technology into scalable, profitable models.
For equity investors, this underscores the need for deep fundamental research paired with an understanding of technological adoption curves and competitive positioning.
4. Geopolitical Realignment
The world is moving toward a multipolar order, with the United States, China, the European Union, and regional blocs each shaping trade, currency, and regulatory landscapes. This shift introduces both volatility and opportunity. Investors will need to prepare for periods of heightened market reaction to geopolitical developments, while recognizing that these changes can also create strategic entry points.
5. Sustainability and Capital Flows
Climate change, environmental regulation, and evolving consumer preferences are reshaping capital allocation. Green infrastructure, renewable energy, and sustainable supply chains will attract both public and private investment. At the same time, industries with high carbon intensity will face tightening capital access, compelling them to innovate or decline.
Eminence Capital’s Strategic Response
Eminence Capital is not content to merely observe these shifts. Its four research divisions are actively mapping strategies to capture opportunity and mitigate risk for clients.
Equities: Sector Rotation in a Transforming Economy
The Equities Division focuses on identifying long-term value creation in sectors positioned for secular growth. While technology will remain a core driver, Eminence believes that the next phase of equity leadership will be multi-sectoral:
Technology & AI Infrastructure: Beyond consumer applications, investment in AI-enabling infrastructure — semiconductors, cloud computing, and cybersecurity — will define the competitive edge.
Healthcare & Biotechnology: Aging populations in developed markets and rising healthcare access in emerging economies create sustained demand for innovation.
Industrial Renaissance: Re-shoring and near-shoring trends are revitalizing advanced manufacturing, benefiting automation and supply chain logistics.
Sustainable Energy Transition: From solar and wind to battery storage and grid modernization, the capital flows into green energy are set to accelerate.
The Equities Division integrates macroeconomic indicators with bottom-up fundamental analysis, ensuring that portfolio construction aligns with both long-term themes and current valuation realities.
Fixed Income: Navigating the New Yield Landscape
In an environment where interest rates are expected to remain structurally higher than in the 2010s, Eminence’s Fixed Income Division is focused on selective duration management and credit quality optimization. Key strategies include:
Dynamic Duration Positioning: Adjusting exposure to interest rate cycles in response to central bank signals and inflation trends.
Credit Diversification: Balancing investment-grade stability with selective high-yield opportunities in sectors with resilient cash flows.
Emerging Market Debt: Targeting sovereign and corporate issuances in countries with improving fiscal positions and credible monetary policy.
The emphasis is on generating real returns — income streams that outpace inflation while preserving capital.
Multi-Asset: Flexibility as a Competitive Advantage
The Multi-Asset Division blends equities, fixed income, commodities, and alternative strategies into agile portfolios that can pivot in response to changing market conditions. This flexibility is essential in a decade where macroeconomic cycles may shorten and asset correlations may shift unpredictably.
By combining quantitative modeling with discretionary macro insights, the division seeks to capture upside in risk assets while maintaining defensive positioning in periods of stress.
International Strategies: Expanding Global Horizons
Eminence’s International Strategies Division identifies opportunities beyond U.S. borders, not simply for diversification but for alpha generation. With teams covering Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Africa, the division emphasizes:
Local Market Intelligence: Partnering with on-the-ground analysts to navigate regulatory environments and cultural factors.
Currency Management: Employing active hedging strategies to manage FX volatility.
Private Market Access: Leveraging networks to participate in cross-border private equity and infrastructure projects.
Helping Clients Succeed in the Next Economic Cycle
Eminence Capital’s mission is not just to deliver returns, but to enable clients — whether institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, or family offices — to achieve their objectives with clarity and confidence.
1. Personalized Portfolio Construction
No two clients have the same risk tolerance, time horizon, or liquidity needs. Eminence’s investment process begins with a comprehensive client profile, aligning asset allocation with specific goals and constraints.
2. Education and Transparency
Market conditions can change rapidly, and informed clients make better long-term decisions. Eminence emphasizes clear communication, offering detailed performance reports, market outlooks, and thematic research that explain both current positioning and strategic rationale.
3. Risk Management as a Core Discipline
The firm’s compliance and risk management systems are embedded at every stage — from security selection to portfolio review — ensuring that exposures remain within agreed parameters and that downside protection is a central focus.
4. Long-Term Partnership
Eminence measures success not by quarterly fluctuations but by multi-year wealth preservation and growth. This perspective aligns investment decisions with sustainable outcomes rather than short-term market noise.
The Role of New York in a Global Strategy
Operating from New York — one of the world’s most influential financial hubs — provides Eminence Capital with direct access to global capital markets, regulatory bodies, and a network of industry leaders. The firm leverages this position to:
Engage with Policymakers: Anticipating regulatory changes that can affect asset classes and capital flows.
Attract Global Talent: Recruiting analysts, portfolio managers, and risk specialists from diverse backgrounds to enhance decision-making.
Integrate Global Information: Processing real-time data from markets across time zones, ensuring that client portfolios benefit from timely action.
Preparing for Uncertainty with Confidence
The defining characteristic of the coming decade may well be uncertainty — economic, political, and technological. But uncertainty also creates mispriced assets, structural opportunities, and innovation pathways for those with the expertise and agility to act.
Eminence Capital’s approach combines discipline with adaptability:
Discipline in adhering to robust research processes, risk controls, and long-term objectives.
Adaptability in adjusting asset allocation, sector exposure, and regional focus as the macro environment evolves.
Looking Ahead: A Vision for 2035
By 2035, Eminence Capital envisions an investment world where technology and human insight operate in seamless partnership. The firm is investing today in advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence-assisted research, and global collaboration platforms to ensure that its decision-making remains at the forefront of the industry.
Henry Lucas, Founder and CEO, summarizes the philosophy:
“The next decade will test every assumption investors hold about growth, inflation, and markets. Our job is to be the steady hand, the clear voice, and the trusted partner who turns complexity into opportunity.”
