3:30 PM - 4:15 - What Equity Traders Need to Know About Options Market Activity?

Equity professionals have been inundated with research showing parabolic growth in 0DTE, or options with zero days to expiration, and in some cases the research points to pending doom in the event of significant short term moves, a so-called Volmageddon 2.0 event.  In this panel session, we will hear from options market practitioners who will demystify some of the hyperbole surrounding options market growth and set us straight on the pros and cons of the recent growth in options activity.   We will learn how options market makers manage risk, especially nearing expiry, as well as what products are most actively traded by retail and institutional users.  As well, the panelists will dig in on some of the mechanics of options trading, in particular auctions for retail orders, as regulators contemplate mirroring some options market conventions in equity trading.

Moderator - Peter Haynes* , Managing Director, Index Products and Market Structure, TD Cowen
