The VIX is one of the most powerful indicators in a trader’s toolbox. It won’t give you buy or sell signals on its own, but it will tell you what kind of market you’re in — calm, cautious, or chaotic.
Whether you’re adjusting your options strategy, timing entries, or simply gauging sentiment, learning to read the VIX can take your trading game to the next level.
In a market that often feels irrational, volatile, and emotional, the VIX gives you something rare: clarity.
