FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures are still in the 30s as volatility remains elevated. Gamma dropped on Friday, but remains positive as it continues to put the brakes on volatility in /ES price action. DIX dropped as well, illustrating another decrease in institutional buying. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
