Option Expiration Schedule

UVXY has weekly, monthly, and LEAPS options released on the following schedule

New option expirations are added on Thursdays to replace the contract expiring the on next day. There are 5 weekly contracts, with a 6th available on Thursday and Friday when that Friday’s expiring contract is also a weekly. New monthly expirations are added on Thursday when that Friday’s expiring contract is also a monthly.

This can be a consideration for traders who want to open new trades with a specific Days To Expiration value as there can be a 2 or 3 week ‘hole’ before the next available expiration (usually in the 50 to 70 DTE area)
