FINAL THOUGHTS


/VX futures have fallen into the lower 30s as volatility remains elevated. Gamma exposure dropped yesterday, yet is still highly positive. DIX rose sharply to extremes as dark pool buying remains high. We are getting near the area where elevated gamma could cause downward movement in price, but only if DIX drops dramatically from its current location. Expect continued increased volatility in most, if not all, futures instruments. We continue to recommend keeping smaller contract size and using tighter stops.
