Hedging of a shorted VIX future

Course Name: Volatility Trading Strategies for Beginners, Section No: 14, Unit No: 13, Unit type: WaterMarkVideo

Hi,
Please check on this slide. It says “hedging of a shorted VIX future by going long on a weekly call option”. Is this correct??

Hello,

In section 14 unit 13 video, we are talking about products related to VIX, thus, we are implying that the weekly call option is on the VIX, and not the underlying index. We will make the modification to remove the ambiguity.

Thanks. Hope this helps.
