Hedging in German (DAX) market

  1. For options (not Futures/Futures Option), what are the hedging equities/index I can use for DAX?
    US has the VIX but German's VIX is inactive...
    Thx

    Take a look at the STOXX products if they are available to you.
     
  3. Thx. Yeah they are available but they tend to move along the DAX index and I cant see any liquidity yet. I was hoping to use an inverted instrument (e.g VIX is generally inverse of SPY).
    In fact I wanted to hedge some Bull Put on Bayer and BMW through other instruments - any suggestion?
    I can go for Bear Call making ending with Iron Condor for these equities but I am not sure its the right approach at this stage.
