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
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.
What kind of instruments are you looking for? Are futures acceptable? https://www.eurexchange.com/exchange-en/products/idx https://www.eurexchange.com/exchange-en/products/vol
