Was at a conference this PM on " Finding An Edge - How Option Traders Use Alternative Datasets". The biggest cocktail topic was IEX adding options trading functionality in the near future.
You should have taken photos and posted a YouTube video of all of those Elite Traders. -- I love conferences. Seeing other/any traders is like Disneyland to me...it can get awfully boring and lonely doing it at home alone.

Here's the audio - it worth the complete listen if options data is relevant to your trading. One real interesting quote a little past the 59 minute mark - 35 to 40% of the daily Vega occurs during the first hour and then he discusses the relevance of observing traffic during the rest of the day. I'm still waiting on the Video, but it's a good listen overall. http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/6/2/1/621...23403292&hwt=8de9315ea0b6c669670cd0ab72ec6c39
