FINAL THOUGHTS
/VX futures are back in the 30s as volatility increases following US-China trade tensions. Gamma exposure rose marginally yesterday showing continued positive gamma. DIX rose slightly again yesterday indicating dark pool buying activity has increased. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
