FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures remain in the 30s, yet slowly decreasing day over day. Volatility remains elevated but is quietly seeping from the markets. Gamma dropped slightly yesterday which indicates no change in volatility in /ES price action. DIX barely notched a rise in value, showing institutions have decreased their buying over the past few days. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
