MIAX® Is Making Volatility Trading More Accessible To Retail Investors With Its Volatility Products: SPIKES Options, Futures, And ETFs

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga With persistent inflation and the aggressive interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, the stock market in 2022 experienced its most volatile year since 2009. The S&P 500 has been on a shaky decline since January 2022, and despite a few short-lived rebounds, it was down 19.4% at the end of 2022. Intraday volatility — the percentage change in share price from market open to market close — averaged 1.84% in 2022, compared to its 40-year average of 1.3%. Since volatility is often negatively correlated with equities — when equity prices decline, volatility increases — using a volatility index to hedge portfolios with profitable trades based on volatility assumptions is becoming an increasingly popular way for investors to make lemonade out of lemons and turn market swings into profitable trades. To make this kind of volatility trading strategy accessible to more investors, MIAX, a technology-driven leader that builds and operates regulated exchanges, is developing a portfolio of trading products based on the SPIKES® Volatility Index (SPIKE). What the SPIKES Index does differently and why that matters MIAX collaborated with T3 Index to create products based on the SPIKES Index. The SPIKES Index is intended to provide an improved measure of equity market volatility and act as an alternative to the Chicago Board Options Exchange’s Volatility Index (VIX). The SPIKES Volatility Index tracks SPY options to measure the expected 30-day volatility in the SPDR S&P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), the most actively traded ETF in the world. By tracking SPY options rather than the SPX options, with the latter used by VIX, and by pulling pricing data from all 16 U.S. options exchanges rather than just the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe), SPIKES seeks more accurate, real-time pricing data to use as a basis for its volatility measure. Its proprietary price-dragging technique for capturing live options prices also aims to offer more precise and stable index movements by using the pricing data from actual trades rather than approximating prices based on the midpoint of the bid-ask spread of the options. These methodology features and the fact that it updates every 100 milliseconds rather than every 15 seconds are among the key reasons MIAX built its ecosystem of volatility trading products around the SPIKES Index. SPIKES Options and Futures While investors cannot invest directly in the SPIKES Index, MIAX offers a portfolio of products based on the index that traders can use to trade their volatility assumptions. The SPIKES options and futures offered by MIAX, turn volatility into a tradeable asset class. Trading in penny increments since October 1, 2022, SPIKES Options and Futures are designed to be more cost-efficient by offering the potential for reduced trading costs, tighter bid/ask spreads, and improved execution prices. Investors feeling anxious about current market conditions can use SPIKES Options (SPIKE) for downside protection by buying call options that could increase in value in the event of a market decline. In futures trading, investors can hedge their positions with SPIKES Futures (SPK): when taking a long position in S&P futures, they can buy long SPIKES Futures to hedge against potential losses since the volatility index is negatively correlated with the market. Investors, however, are not limited to hedging strategies. SPIKES Futures can also be used to trade term structure. Term structure refers to the relationship between implied volatility and time to expiration in futures contracts. If futures prices are trending up, an upward-sloping term structure suggests that volatility is currently lower than it’s anticipated to be in the future. If futures prices are trending down, a downward-sloping term structure suggests volatility is currently higher than it’s anticipated to be in the future. For traders, then, a basic term structure strategy is to buy futures during downward slopes (when expected future volatility is lower) and sell (or short) them during upward slopes (when expected future volatility is higher). SPIKES Volatility ETFs The latest addition to the SPIKES ecosystem, Convexity Shares 1x SPIKES Futures ETF (SPKX) and Convexity Shares Daily 1.5x SPIKES Futures ETF (SPKY), launched on August 16, 2022. Intended as an alternative way for traders to hedge or capitalize on volatility, the SPKX and SPKY seek to match the performance of the SPIKE Front 2 Futures Index, which tracks the returns from a daily rolling long position in the SPIKES Futures contracts traded on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGEX™).

The key debate about getting 350 free spins revolves around whether or not it’s worth the time and effort for players. On one hand, it offers players an opportunity to gain experience and become familiar with games before risking real money. On the other hand, certain promotional bonuses may have excessive wagering requirements that make them difficult to cash out from. Ultimately, this decision depends on how much players are willing to risk and their individual playing goals. When utilizing the free spins offered by casinos, it's important to play responsibly and read all of the conditions carefully so that you know what types of bets and games qualify for rewards and which ones can potentially put winnings at risk. With all that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the bonuses and rewards available at Bitcasino.io. Bonuses and Rewards Bonuses and rewards are a key part of online gambling. Bitcasino.io offers numerous bonuses and rewards to entice new players, as well as reward loyal customers. Some examples of bonuses offered by Bitcasino.io include their welcome offer, where players can get up to 350 free spins when signing up and making a deposit, daily prizes, weekend tournament boosts, ticket draws, and limited-time promotions. While bonuses are great for promoting gameplay, some people argue that they provide an unfair advantage as not all players receive them. According to these players, bonuses should be given equally to all players so there is a level playing field for everyone. On the flip side, others contend that the reason why such promotions exist is that they bring in more revenue for the casino itself – money that can then be reinvested into additional gameplay features or customer rewards. Leading the way forward, no-deposit bonuses offer another way for players to get their hands on extra funds without having to spend a single penny of their own money. In the next section, we will explore in further detail how no-deposit bonus works and what else Bitcasino.io has on offer in this area. No-Deposit Bonuses No-deposit bonuses are an attractive incentive for players looking to get the most value out of their online gaming experience. With a no-deposit bonus, players can place bets and win prizes without making a deposit. The no-deposit bonus is a great way to experience new games or dive into exciting promotions without investing any money up front. One advantage to a no-deposit bonus is that it gives players greater freedom to try out new games and a wide variety of betting options without having to commit any actual money. This allows players to gain a better understanding of the game and its associated risks before deciding whether or not they want to invest more money. Furthermore, no-deposit bonuses make it easier for new customers to get acclimated with the betting platform, allowing them time and resources to explore all its features before committing any substantial funds on future bets. On the other hand, some people argue that no-deposit bonuses are predatory in nature because they often come with high wagering requirements that trap players into spending more money than necessary in order to cash out their winnings. Additionally, these types of bonuses may have hidden terms and conditions that can lead unsuspecting players into financial ruin if they don’t pay attention. Finally, there is always the risk of fraud since customers aren’t required to provide banking information when signing up for these promotions. No matter which side of the debate you stand on, it is important for online gamers looking to take advantage of no-deposit bonuses to do their research before committing money or personal information. To help players make informed decisions, Bitcasino.io offers its users 350 free spins through its Legacy of Dead promotion – perfect for enjoying a risk-free gaming experience while exploring all that Bitcasino has to offer. The next section will discuss how Cash Bonuses and Rewards play an important role in Bitcasino's Legacy of Dead Promotion. Cash Bonuses and Rewards Players looking for juicy cash bonuses and rewards need not look any further than Bitcasino.io - one of the premier online gambling sites around today. Offering 350 free spins on the popular game Legacy of Dead at just the click of a button, this is an offer that isn’t to be missed. Though cash bonuses are not always a sure thing when it comes to online gambling, there are plenty of ways for players to make sure they get the best bang for their buck when playing at Bitcasino.io. All new depositors start out with a generous deposit bonus, which gives players extra funds to play with every time they sign up and deposit money into their account. Additionally, daily and weekly promotions are also running throughout the week, giving players even more chances to win big. On the other hand, some may argue that with such generous cash bonuses come certain restrictions and regulations that limit how much players can actually take advantage of the promotion. For many, wagering requirements may seem like too much hassle when compared to the actual benefits of using the bonus. Additionally, withdrawals might also be limited due to terms and conditions linked to certain bonuses. Although these rules are in place in order to ensure fair play and protect both parties involved, they do still pose as a potential barrier that might prevent some from accessing the best opportunities from this particular site. Types of Free Spin Offers Free spin offers can come in a variety of forms and when used effectively, they can be an incredible resource to help you win big. Let’s take a look at some of the different types of free spin offers available: First Deposit Free Spins: Many online casinos offer free spins when you make your first deposit. These spins usually come with the promise of winning real money and are used by many to give their bankroll a much-needed boost. The number of free spins offered will depend on the size of deposits made but typically range from 10 to 50 spins. Loyalty Program Free Spins: Most larger casinos have loyalty programs that reward players for continued play. With loyalty program free spins, customers accumulate points for playing selected casino games and these points can be exchanged for additional free spin bonuses. No Deposit Free Spins: No deposit free spins are probably one of the most coveted types of spins around. Requiring no deposit at all, these bonus offers allow players to spin on select slot machines without risking any money at all. It is important to keep in mind however that while this type of bonus offer may offer large payouts and great adventure, it also represents one of the greatest risks. With no deposits associated with them and no way to recoup losses should luck not be on your side, it is highly adviseable to gamble responsibly when taking advantage of this type of bonus offer. Time-Limited Free Spins: Time-limited free spins are granted when a particular slot machine is launched or as part of a seasonal promotion (such as during Christmas, Halloween etc). Typically lasting 1-3 days, these bonus offers guarantee plenty of fun and allow players to try out a new game without having to risk any money. Advantages of Free Spins Extra chances to win: Free spins give you the opportunity to spin the reels for free and win real money without risking your own funds. No risk: Since the spins are free, there is no financial risk involved. Try new games: Free spins can be a great way to try out new games and get a feel for the gameplay before you play with your own money. Boost bankroll: Any winnings from the free spins can be used to boost your bankroll and give you more playing time. Disadvantages of Free Spins Wagering requirements: Many free spins offers come with wagering requirements, which must be met before you can withdraw any winnings. Limited time: Free spins are usually only available for a limited time, so you need to act fast to take advantage of them. Restricted games: The free spins may only be valid for certain games, so it is important to check the terms and conditions before you start playing. Small winnings: Free spins often have lower payout potential than regular spins, so it is more difficult to win big. Overall, free spins can be a great way to increase your chances of winning and try out new games, but it is important to be aware of the terms and conditions before you start playing. Conclusion and Overall Bitcasino.io Review Based on our review of Bitcasino.io, it’s easy to see why this online casino has become such a popular choice for players across the world. With their generous bonus offers, wide selection of games, and safe and secure gaming environment, there’s something for everyone at Bitcasino.io. As with all online casinos, though, there are some downsides to consider before joining Bitcasino.io. They have quite a low withdrawal limit compared to other sites, and many countries are excluded from playing here – which may be a deal-breaker for some players. There is also the fact that they only offer games from one provider – no matter how great the selection is in terms of quantity and quality, this may put off those people who want more variety. In conclusion, we believe that Bitcasino.io is an excellent online casino option for players looking for a reliable site with plenty of gaming options and exciting bonuses on offer. The 350 free spins are definitely an attractive prospect for those getting started on their gaming journey at this site. However, depending on your preferences you might wish to explore other gaming sites before settling on Bitcasino.io as the perfect fit for you. Frequently Asked Questions and ExplanationsIs there a maximum amount that can be won with the free spins? Yes, there is a maximum amount of winnings that can be achieved with the free spins from Bitcasino.io. In order to redeem any winnings, you will need to meet certain wagering requirements. These typically include placing a minimum number of bets with real money and winning at least 10 times the value of your combined free spins. This ensures that players are able to win larger amounts and protect Bitcasino.io from fraud and abuse. What are the terms and conditions for the free spins on Bitcasino.io? The terms and conditions for the free spins on Bitcasino.io depend on the specific promotion being offered. Generally speaking though, players need to wager at least once before they are eligible to receive any winnings from their free spins. Players must also adhere to any game weightings that may apply with regards to the bonus money, and any other restrictions specified in the individual promotions’ terms and conditions. It’s important that players understand all of the rules before playing a game with free spins, as failure to do so could lead to nullification of winnings or penalties incurred by the casino.

The inaugural GFN mobilization event will bring together farmers who are agricultural advocates from around the world on February 5-11. The agenda includes communication training for new cohort members; multiple roundtable discussions where the farmer members will be able to share their challenges, ideas, and thoughts on various hot button issues; a field trip to the Rosario Grain Exchange; and the opportunity for members to connect with each other, as well as members of the Argentinian media.

Those members include: Jacob Froese, Canada Ganesh Nanote, India Prakash Puppalwar, India Diana Lenzi, Italy Shuichi Tokumoto, Japan Zeinab al-Momany, Jordan Semeh Roberts, Liberia Jose Luis Quintana, Mexico Stella Thomas, Nigeria David Danio, Philippines Efren Robles, Puerto Rico Pacifique Nshimiyimana, Rwanda Aaron Moore, UAE Brad Clark, USA-Wisconsin Harold Grall, USA-Texas Ryan Speer, USA-Kansas Other current members will also be joining from Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Honduras, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Poland; amongst other countries. GFN is committed to connecting farmers and amplifying their voices, and this mission shines through by training and supporting farmer leaders from around the world. The upcoming roundtable provides the opportunity for all GFN members to be in one location for the first time, and more than a third of the GFN’s current membership will be attending. It is a moment that many members are looking forward to. “I want to say that it was a dream, it is a dream, a huge dream that we are days away from coming true, to be all together,” Giraudo said.

EPAL Redefines Gamers' Dream Job And Unveils A Complimentary Training Camp

EPAL, Inc

EPAL, the revolutionary platform that connects gamers with each other for an enhanced gaming experience, has set a new standard for its freelance profession for gamers by introducing the ePal Training Camp. The ePal Training Camp provides a comprehensive array of services that are tailored to enhance the skills and expertise of ePals, the service providers on the EPAL platform. The ePal Training Camp offers a range of services that include courses, effect testing, 1V1 coaching, and advice on building a successful career as an ePal. The camp also provides assistance in establishing personal IP and 3rd party collaborations for outstanding ePals. All of these services are available to ePals on the platform, with no cost to the participants. The only requirement to participate in the ePal Training Camp is a "love for the ePal career and a desire to provide clients with quality services." EPAL believes that by investing in the development and growth of its ePals, the platform can provide its users with the best possible gaming experience. The instructor of the ePal Training Camp courses, who is also the Co-Founder and CEO of EPAL, Brian Xiong, claims: "The purpose of the ePal Training Camp is to help every ePal gain the comprehensive service ability to convert clients and continue to make them repurchase. In the history of EPAL, only about 1% of merchants have achieved comprehensive service quality, but they have completed half of the orders on the entire website." Before announcing the ePal Training Camp, the EPAL team spent two months analyzing internal data points and interviewing both ePals and clients in order to find the secret of what "good ePal services" really stand for. As a pioneer in a new industry, EPAL is known for cultivating a new profession for gamers worldwide to earn extra income while playing video games with others. It may sound too good to be true, but in less than three years, EPAL has shown its business model is viable and has grown to one of the largest gaming freelancer platforms in the world with more than 1.5 million registered users and 150,000 verified ePals. The top 25% of ePals now make $500 a month, while the top 1% make $4,700+ a month, a sizable income that even beats many conventional jobs. In January 2023, the team believes it is now the time to unveil the ePal Training Camp as a channel to teach ePals how they can provide clients with better experiences and services as well as gain ideal earnings and benefits. Along with the ePal Training Camp, EPAL will also revamp its Store Rating, ePal levels, and exposure algorithm at the end of January. These changes aim to use metrics for clients to better predict the ePals’ overall service qualities. The new store rating system will add service quality to the existing profile completeness, responsiveness, and more exposure, and service quality will be the most important part of the new store rating system. EPAL will also strengthen the screening of users and the handling of violators this year. According to Brian, the Co-Founder and CEO of EPAL, “I am also a gamer myself, and I am happy to create a great industry and a respectable career with all the ePals. The vision of EPAL is to build a bridge of sharing and companionship for gamers all over the world, and ePals as sharers are the most critical part of this vision.” Brian believes these recent new changes are necessary for the business in the long run. “We must improve the quality of our overall services so that more people can have fun and have a really good experience here. This will improve our reputation and attract more clients for our ePals. We know it is not simple, but we will make it through this, together.” The ePal Training Camp sets a new benchmark for the freelance profession for gamers, offering a one-of-a-kind chance for ePals to acquire new abilities and improve their services, resulting in a mutually beneficial outcome for both ePals and clients. Additionally, by introducing this training camp, EPAL positions itself as a leader in the gaming freelancer industry, dedicated to equipping its ePals with the necessary tools and resources to excel in this rapidly expanding field. EPAL is truly revolutionizing the notion of a "gamers' dream job" and establishing a respected, viable career path for gamers worldwide.
