Description
Can you trade calendar spreads when the VIX is high? The short answer: yes, but you need to trade them differently.
In this video, I break down when calendars still make sense in a high-volatility environment and when they don’t. High VIX doesn’t automatically kill calendar trades. It changes how you size, place, and manage them.
We cover:
• Why high VIX gets a bad reputation for calendars
• When at-the-money calendars do and don’t make sense
• How elevated IV affects premium and risk
• Strike selection and sizing to avoid knockouts
• Clear exit and adjustment rules for volatile markets
High volatility is information, not a stop sign. Learn how to use it correctly.
