Why is US100 (Nasdaq-100) more volatile than other indices?

Due to heavy concentration in tech mega-caps (top 5 >40% weight), AI/semiconductor cycles, and sensitivity to interest rates – VXN often mid-20s vs. VIX ~15-20.

What's the best timeframe for trading Nasdaq-100?

Daily/4H for trend-following swings; 1H for mean-reversion; intraday (15M-1H) for event plays around earnings or news.

How does one stock impact the entire US100 index?

NVIDIA or Apple earnings can swing the index 2-5% due to their 8-12% weights; always hedge directional exposure during top holdings' events.

Should I use options for US100 trading?

Yes, especially in high VXN (>25): Use protective puts, call spreads, or iron condors; avoid naked shorts without tail-risk hedges.

What risk management is crucial for NDX trades?

Cap risk at 1-2% per trade, diversify strategies (trend + mean-reversion), trail stops at 1.5x ATR, and reduce size if VXN >30.
