How Day Traders Use the VVIX 95 Level for Position Sizing
Description
In this episode of The Day Trading Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how the VVIX 95 level serves as a practical anchor for day traders adjusting position size. With the VIX at 16.64 and the VVIX at 95.55 as of July 22, 2026, they discuss why this level matters for entries, exits, and risk management. Lucas explains a simple framework: when the VVIX trades below 95, volatility of volatility is low, allowing for larger positions with tighter stops. When it pushes above 95, it signals potential volatility spikes, so traders should cut size and focus on high-probability setups. They also touch on how the VVIX 95 level interacts with the VIX 17 level from a prior episode, and why day traders should watch for a VVIX break above 100 as a further warning. No fluff—just actionable signals for short-term traders.
