OVX futures?

Man. I could've REALLY used some CVF futures as a hedge this week. When the heck is the CME going to line up some market makers for us.

 

i'll give a market .1/100000

 

.2/99,999

 

Now we are talking! What size!?!

 

Just to keep all of the related thoughts in the same thread... CBOE is launching gold vix futures and options! Game on, CME!

Now... where are my crude futures and options!?

 

lol, i just read it too. i think cboe/cfe will make this one work due to the options edge i expect them to have; thus driving the futures volume. of course i prefer the oil vix futures the get some traction due to greater vol swings in crude; but i'll take any new vix curve.

 

Interesting. I would've thought with the COMEX Gold volume, CME would do a better job of lining up volume for the VIX futures.

But perhaps the GLD ETF is where the option volume really is, and CBOE gets to take advantage of that?

 

maybe, i watch cme gold vix every few days for life but vix futures did not take off til vix options got going so i just figure the options flow can lead to futures flow or vice versa.

 

CL OVX is D.O.A. as will be the GC vol product.

 

The VIX futures essentially doubled in OI in the first three months of trading in the VIX options. So by that metric the OVX should trade 2 contracts in OI by then.
