FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures remain in the high 30s illustrating that volatility is still relatively high. Gamma fell slightly Friday which indicates slightly increased volatility in /ES price action. DIX fell again, showing institutions continuing to decrease their buying. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
