## Resource

Episode 42 of The Day Trading Podcast dives into the explosive growth of Kalshi's perpetual futures, which crossed $1 billion in volume within a week of launch. Lucas and Luna discuss how day traders are using these prediction-market derivatives to hedge against VIX spikes and profit from volatility-of-volatility. With the VIX surging 30% in five days and Kalshi's perps offering new liquidity dynamics, they break down specific strategies for incorporating perps into a short-term trading toolkit. This episode focuses on the perp-VIX hedge, how perps differ from VIX futures and options, and a practical example using the recent VIX jump from 15 to 20 to illustrate the edge. A must-listen for active traders looking to diversify their volatility exposure. #DayTrading #Kalshi #Perps #PerpetualFutures #VIX #Volatility #Hedging #PredictionMarkets #TradingStrategy #Derivatives #MarketLiquidity #Finance #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TradingPodcast #ActiveTrading #VVIX Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
