  1. Does the world of intermarkets play a role in your trading? If yes, how? What information do you look for? How do you use it?

    As an Options Trader, I was just thinking about "spillover volatility". Unfortunately, I can't find anything concrete about it.

    I do intermarket directional plays haphazardly since i only do the standard 1% risk with no more than 2 non-equity directional trades at a time. Most of my risk is equity risk. Any meaningful size just clouds the read on my option portfolio greeks.

    If could get a handle on a concrete spillover volatility idea, then I could definitely do some size outside stocks.

    At best, I think non-equity futures options should be separated into a different account/risk manager profile.
