The conversation begins with an in-depth analysis of the volatility spike that occurred in early August, as Vestergaard and Cameron share their insights on the market dynamics and the impact on their trading strategies. The discussion then delves into the growing influence of daily options and the challenges of navigating a highly electronic and technical market. Vestergaard and Cameron provide valuable perspectives on the importance of understanding current market conditions and adapting trading approaches accordingly. Listeners will get an inside look into Carmika’s quantitative approach to options trading, with a focus on modeling implied volatility and skew across the options curve.
