Frequently asked questions

Clear, specific answers about trading VIX on CoinUnited.io.

What is a VIX CFD?

VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) is a contract for difference, or CFD, on CoinUnited.io. You trade the price moves of CBOE Volatility Index with leverage but never own the asset itself, and everything is funded and settled in crypto.

How much leverage can I use on VIX?

Up to 500x. As with every CFD here, bigger positions get a lower cap. The Margin Curve table above shows the limit for each tier.

Do I need to own CBOE Volatility Index to trade VIX?

No. A CFD just follows the price, so you can go long or short on CBOE Volatility Index with leverage without ever holding the actual stock, index or commodity.

When can I trade VIX?

VIX trades during its underlying market's hours, which you'll find in the Trading Hours table above. That includes weekend and holiday closures, so unlike crypto perpetuals, CFDs don't trade 24/7.

What are the trading fees for VIX?

Fees depend on your 30-day trading volume. They start at the standard rate and fall as you climb the VIP tiers, down to 0% at the top. See the Fee Rates table above for the exact rates.

Can I trade VIX without a brokerage or bank account?

Yes. You deposit, post margin and withdraw in crypto, so there's no brokerage account or bank account to open.

What is the minimum to trade VIX?

You'll find the minimum order size in the contract overview above, and you fund the position in crypto.

How do I start trading VIX?

Open a CoinUnited.io account, deposit some crypto, then hit Trade Now above to open a VIX position with up to 500x leverage.

Is trading VIX risky?

Yes. Leverage of up to 500x magnifies both your gains and your losses, and a position can be liquidated if the market turns against you. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.
