How can I buy puts on the VIX? I have TD ameritrade and can’t find the ticker

Ticker is VIX. Pull up the chart, go to the “Trade” tab and it should drop you right into the options chain.

It took me right to the VIX when I typed it in. Not sure why it’s doing something different for you.

type in $ VIX not Vix as it is an index itself and not an etn.

Go to the trade tab. In the top left there's a search bar

I’ve been using the desktop version and just use the app for checking things when I’m in plays.

what are you buying puts on the vix? It's like $3 above it's 12 month low right now.

Definitely not, just curious for when it does hits its low areas I’d be interested in calls for a scalp.
