What is the VXX Options Chain?

VXX Options Trading Tips
VXX suffers from contango decay — in calm markets, VIX futures roll down; long VXX or long calls often lose value over time.
VXX spikes during equity selloffs; puts on VXX (or short VXX) can profit when markets recover and volatility normalizes.
Implied volatility on VXX options can be extreme before major events (Fed, CPI, earnings season) — size positions accordingly.
Calendar spreads and diagonals can exploit the roll yield structure; near-term options decay faster than longer-dated ones.
