OptionsBrewTV's Kevin "Lex" Luthringshausen from Tradier had Cboe's Henry Schwartz on to talk about "Understanding Options Order Flow using Cboe's Trade-Alert." They talked about how options volume is out of the stratosphere, with Schwartz saying there are "ten million contracts a day in retail volume, that was not here 5 years ago." He also said he believes the U.S. options markets volume could reach 9.5 billion contracts this year. Schwartz attributed the increase in volumes to the perfect storm of people working from home and the reduction of friction from zero-cost brokerage offerings. Lex and Schwartz also discussed Cboe's Trade Alert offerings and how moving to the Cboe improved them. You can watch the interview HERE.
