VOLATILITY FOR MORTALS.
Volatility as an asset class is confusing to many investors. v1Trader intends to change this. We offer educational materials and a powerful volatility strategy as a subscription offering for investors ready to harvest volatility’s investment potential.
New to volatility? Learn.
If you are relatively new to volatility investing and just want to learn a bit more, try our volatility primer, “Why Volatility?”. It’s a complete first draft that covers what volatility is, how the VIX volatility index works, and how volatility can be traded with exchange traded products (particularly ETFs and ETNs). Uniquely, the paper ends with a (free) algorithmic volatility strategy that can be followed without need for specialized trading software nor even (in its simplest forms) need for a calculator.
In addition, we’re just starting our blog where we’ll post articles on current volatility trends, volatility strategies, links, and everything else we can find of interest to volatility investors.

v1Trader offers a very compelling volatility strategy called Battle Axe as a subscription service. Battle Axe is currently on a tear, having gained +190% in calendar 2016, significantly better than buy-and-hold XIV which was itself no slouch (up 110%). Because Battle Axe trades only long positions with XIV and VXX, you can follow the strategy in an IRA or other tax-advantaged account.
Battle Axe is offered as a subscription through Collective2, where you can follow Battle Axe automatically or get the signals via email or other messaging. We suggest getting an account at InteractiveBrokers (or other compatible broker) and letting Collective2 pass our broker-initiated trade signals to autotrade in your account, within moments of our own — you’ll trade the exact same trades we do in our own investment account.
